Details

Bright red and natural cream contrast profoundly with black in this impressive wood accent table created by the workshop of Winfred Korley in Ghana. The base of this circular table features a young mother embracing her child, while the top features a red adinkra symbol called Gye Nyame, which means "I fear none except God" in the Akan language. Adinkra symbols generally represent proverbs and are well-respected throughout the region. This stunning table is hand carved from sese wood and is given a distressed finish, making it an interesting addition to your home decor.
