Ghana's Awudu Saaed transforms native sese wood into an authentic Ashanti throne stool. A sign of authority in West Africa, this beautiful throne ottoman is embellished with hand-embossed aluminum. Adinkra symbols cover the legs; these symbols convey popular wisdom. Akofena depicts a war sword and represents heroism and courage, while akoko nan (leg of a hen) is a symbol of nurturing and discipline. Boa me na me mmoa wo is a symbol of cooperation, meaning "help me and let me help you."

Not sure how I stumbled upon this mask in the first place but from the moment I saw it, something about it haunted me. Its beautiful. I could NOT stop thinking about it and finally caved, and Im so glad I did. The colors, the beadwork, and the craftsmanship are all incredible. This is my favorite piece of art we own, by far. I cant wait to collect more of Awudu Saaeds work.
