Chemu Lagoon lies near Accra, Ghana's capital, and its beauty proves impetus for this traditional throne by Nana Frimpong. The piece is carved by hand from local sese wood, its deep grain accentuated by a finish of mansion polish. A Gye Nyame symbol rests at the crux, its common image in Ghana translating as, "I am afraid of none except God." Etched with delicate geometry on the seat, this work is sure to garner admiration within any home interior.
Care instructions: The stool's regal appearance may be maintained by using a dry cloth and shoe polish. Avoid using anything wet - including water or spray polish - when cleaning the stool.

"Pride of my possessions; so different"
Im sitting on this as I speak, as I use it as my office chair. It is very comfortable and smooth. The quality is high and displays great care and workmanship from the artist. Everyone asks me where I got it. I am SO proud to show this item to my friends. I highly recommend this artist.

"Perfect size for a small space"
This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.
