West African artisan Ali Mohammed fashions this attractive, adjustable, unisex necklace by stringing ebony and sese wood beads on black nylon cords. The ebony wood pendant is an example of the adinkra symbol Dwennimmen or "ram's horns", a tangible reminder of the ram's ideal combination of strength and humility.
"I was good at learning through watching my brother when he was carving, and then I would try my hand and I would ask for assistance when needed."
