Cradling her child against her belly, an African mother is depicted in this Ghanaian sculpture. Cynthia Danquah uses sese wood to hand-carve this sculpture, given a black polished finish with painted accents. This piece of home decor is named Odehye, meaning "royal" in the Akan language.

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.
