African Royalty Batik Cotton Wall Hanging from Ghana, "Olori Queen"

By Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adedunmola Adeniran, this cotton wall hanging tells the story of Queen Adeola, who fell in love with a stranger from a faraway land. Against a red background, Queen Adeola is depicted along with two other faces. This wall hanging is decorated using the batik method, where a wax resist is hand-painted onto the fabric before being dyed with different colors. It is named Olori, meaning "queen" in Yoruba.
