Its strings vibrate imperceptibly, still warm from the touch of a human hand as the goje instrument glows against a midnight blue background. Born to a Ghanaian mother and a Nigerian father, Edward Adeniran draws upon the richness of two cultures to recreate this Nigerian string instrument used to sing the king's praises after a war victory. Strumming a gentle West African melody, this batik wall hanging makes a thoughtful gift for the devoted music lover. Edward Adeniran employs the batik method of dying 100% cotton cloth to achieve spectacular colors and captivating designs. African art must be both beautiful and good, for in the ancient languages these are often the same word. The beauty and content of every piece combine to make art the vehicle ensuring the survival of traditions, as well as taking on the vital role of protecting communities and individuals, and narrating tales of courage, loyalty, devotion, and fidelity. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers.
