"In Ghana we continue to have traditional ways of doing business, which are very effective and mainly done by women. They carry their wares on their heads, trays of fruits and foods, which they sell on the street or from door to door. They play a serious role in the development of Africa yet credit is not given to them, so this is my way of honoring them," explains Samuel Ashong. He masters batik techniques to portray six women carrying trays filled with fruits and food. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.

"Beautiful Batik"

The art is beautiful and will be a great addition to our home. The packaging did protect the batik, but the matting is creased on one entire short end.

"treasure from Africa"

I made one African wall in my hallway. I have been to Africa many times, but I could not return with anything big...I love this picture of the women at the market in West Africa. It has modern and primitive elements as I see it, and it goes well with my other artifacts.
