Delivery Estimate
Tall and stately, a slender personage rises above a larger face that represents the village as a whole. Daniel Nyadedzor carves a regal mask he names Nkosoo, which means "development" or "progress" in Ghana's Akan language. Often the council of elders in a community awards a piece like this to an individual who is industrious.

"So elegant !!!"
Ive been looking at this table for awhile, it is so lovely. So when I had a discount available, I had to use it for this table. I am so glad. It is much more lovely than I expected, much heavier, also. I cherish my things that are handmade.

"A string too short"
I give one star just because of string. This artist wants to economize some milimeter in the string and he doesnt think how it could be hanged on the wall.I bought 3 times and I had always the same problem.
