The Encounter
Own a cornerstone piece from the JASKILL Mozambique Studio. Mama Afrika is not décor—it is an encounter. In the ancient medium of batik, Skill captures a Royal Gaze that holds the room in silence. From the tri-pointed crown bearing the Mozambican star to the ceremonial geometry framing her eyes, every line is deliberate: power, pride, and ancestral sovereignty.

The Studio Archive Rarity
This inaugural release is offered in its most visceral state. As a First Studio Run, it preserves the textile exactly as it surfaced from the Mozambique studio—including authentic fold marks from the original fabric.

Those marks are not flaws. They are provenance: the fingerprints of process, the evidence this edition is a primary document from the birth of the Guild.

The Provenance Guarantee: Edition of 100
To ensure the long-term value of your investment, this First Studio Run is strictly limited to 100 hand-numbered prints. Once this century-mark is reached, the "Studio Archive" edition—featuring the raw fabric fold marks—will be permanently retired.

Each print is accompanied by a digital Certificate of Authenticity and Provenance issued by the Faculty of Arts. This document serves as your official deed to the work, verifying its origins in the JASKILL Mozambique Studio and its status as a cornerstone piece of the Guild’s inaugural collection.

Japanese Mastery Meets African Soul
To honor the depth of the original batik, we chose a world-class substrate: Japanese-sourced museum-grade matte paper (10.3 mil), printed with archival, water-based inks for rich, enduring color. The matte finish kills glare so the batik’s “topographic” texture reads from any angle—golds, turquoise anchors, and wax-resist rhythm intact.

The Guild’s Mission
This is art with a heartbeat. Each acquisition directly supports UK’s Faculty of Arts Guild in Mozambique, strengthening economic sovereignty for artists and protecting traditional storytelling. Our on-demand fulfillment avoids overproduction—so your purchase is significant, sustainable, and real.
