Hand-carved of sese wood, a striking pendant centers this Ghanaian necklace. Robert Aidoo-Taylor creates the necklace, flanking the pendant with black and gold-tone wood beads, adorning the neck on an adjustable length of black cord. He names it Ban wo aso, an Akan phrase meaning "walls have ears."
