Details

Designed by Theophilus Anum of Ghana, this wall sculpture depicts two Ghanaian men holding up the adinkra symbol, gye nyame. The symbol represents the supremacy and omnipotence of God. Adinkra symbols, used by the Ashanti peoples, are visual icons that represent common beliefs or proverbs. Artisans carve the wall sculpture from native sese wood and paint it by hand for a unique wall accent.

"Earned a prominent place in my growing collection."

The workmanship is superb, the colors are subtle but perfect, the piece has a certain heft that is hard to explain but much appreciated. Im sure to look for his pieces when I next order a mask.

"Striking Piece of Artwork"

The beadwork on this item is stunning. I only wish that the head and ears on mine were a little more cat-like. (I am a cat lover.)
