Salihu Ibrahim in Ghana presents this fascinating decorative broom, inspired by those used by the Guro peoples of the Ivory Coast as flyswatters. The sese wood handle is whimsically hand-carved to resemble a bird, right down to his beak and crest. Palm leaf petioles or stems are then secured to the handle using black cotton cloth. The broom features a loop for hanging on the wall if desired.
