Delivery Estimate
Beached at the edge of the sea, fishing canoes dry in the shadows of swaying palm trees. This exquisite batik by Samuel Ashong whispers in cool shades of blue. "In the coastal area of Ghana where I live, fishermen do not go fishing on Tuesdays," the artist says. "As Tuesdays are regarded as days of rest, the canoes are parked." Ashong presents the work in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.

"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.
