Wearing earrings and necklaces of recycled glass, an African Fante woman sits atop a stool in this sculpture from Ghana. By Aminu Ibrahim, this sculpture is hand-carved from sese wood and painted by hand to depict the woman in a yellow skirt with a hairdo that wraps around her head. Cross patterns on her cheeks reflect traditional scarification practices.

"Absolutely beautiful!"
I have several chiwara pieces and I love them all for their uniqueness, however, this is the first contemporary style piece that purchased and I love it. The details with the metal was a surprise. I guess I Just didn?t pay much attention to the description when ordering. But it is exquisitely detailed. Thank you for allowing me to display your work!
