Sankofa Adinkra Ceramic Decorative Teapot from Ghana, "Sankofa Charm"
By Ghanaian artisan Samuel Lovi, this tea pot makes a charming home decor accessory. This teapot is handcrafted from ceramic with a rustic pattern and finish. Raffia fiber is used to wrap the handle, and the image of a bird decorates the lid. The sides of this decorative teapot feature the Adinkra symbol Sankofa. Often depicting a bird that reaches to grab an egg off its back, Sankofa represents the importance of learning from the past.
