West African Mother & Child Cotton Batik Wall Hanging, "Loving Mom"

A young woman shows her love through her daily actions. Chores must be done and water fetched from the river. Yet she is never far from her small child, who rests against her strong back. Tied in shawl, he accompanies her throughout the day and sleeps within earshot at night. Gladys Ayorkor Ayi works in batik to create this beautiful portrait in saffron orange on mahogany brown cotton.
