Handcrafted Cotton Batik Wall Hanging from Ghana, "Battle Cry"
Bold and imposing, an African mask centers this colorful wall hanging. K. Baka works in batik on cotton to create the bright tapestry. On the mask's forehead is an adinkra symbol known as akoban — "war horn" in the Twi language. "Akoban is used to sound a battle cry. It is a symbol of vigilance and wariness," the artisan explains.
