West African artist Cynthia Danquah presents this beautiful, hand carved sculpture of sese wood that depicts an African woman holding the day's haul from the market on her head. Akonobaa means "beautiful woman" in the Akan language, and this sculpture, with its recycled glass bead skirt and top is the perfect celebration of the female form.

"Striking, Ethic Artistry"
Ohemaa, wood pendant necklace is large, but well proportioned to hang in a way that is flattering when worn. Very eye-catching, unique artistic necklace. Coordinates with Paglayiri earrings made by IIa Suleyman. Happy with purchase.
