Delivery EstimateThis decorative footed bowl is hand-carved from native sese wood by artisan Daniel Quarcoo in Ghana. He was inspired by the traditional earthen bowls known as asanka in the Akan language, which are normally used as pepper grinders or to serve the local cassava dish known as fufu. The artisan gives the bowl's interior a cheerful red and white striped finish.

"A nice addition to my collection"
Meticulously crafted. This is a beautiful piece of art for my collection and is also the right size and design for my Christmas cultural decor. However it is smaller than expected because the stand is included in the stated measurement.
Best Uses
- Wall or table
- I also include on my Christmas tree

"Beautiful piece"
It really is made with love and care and that is evident. The super tiny dots painted on the face have been carefully placed and meticulously plotted out. I give full credit to this artist and the patience put into putting out this beautiful piece of work!
