Details

By Ghanaian artist K. Baka, this expressionist painting depicts a pair of women preparing for the Dipo festival. They wear elaborate beaded jewelry and cloths around their waists. Says the artist, "Dipo is a Ghanaian traditional festival celebrated by the people of Odumase in the Eastern region of Ghana. The festival is celebrated in the month of April every year. The festival is used to usher into puberty girls who are virgins and it signifies that a lady who partakes in it is of age to be married."

"These Napkin Rings go well with Fiesta Dinnerware"

I gave these napkin rings as a gift to a lovely friend. The bright colors and beautiful handwork look beautiful with my friends Fiesta Dinnerware bevy of colors. But think of the color added to your table with a vase full of sunflowers and these napkin rings contrasting with your white dinnerware and napkins! Beautiful!
