Details

Designed and crafted by Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah, this artwork from Ghana depicts a trio of African women. One sits on a tray, one carries a tray full of foodstuffs, and the third carries an empty tray, her child slung over her back. The artist achieves this folk art composition using a variety of techniques. He utilizes the batik method to decorate several bits of cotton cloth, using a combination of colorful dyes with a wax resist. He then hand-cuts the designs into the artwork, replacing the cut-out portions with the colorful cloth that suggests the image of the women. This stunning piece of home decor arrives in a redwood frame.

"Special piece of art"

I just received The Lost Fishermen and I love it. This artwork arrived quickly to the United States and looks just like the photo online. It is beautiful up close and from a distance, and draws lots of attention from visitors. Definitely worth the purchase.
