Handcrafted Authentic Ashanti Ottoman Stool from Ghana, "Queen's Authority"
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."

"Perfect for placement on window shelf where the sun highlights its features."
This is a beautifully carved and painted fish. Very nice detail and stands on its own on a shelf where the sun shines that brings out its nicely detail features.
