Details

Artisan Winfred Korley crafts a pair of fertility dolls that is rich with meaning. The woman holds her stomach, and the man does so as well in solidarity, showing his support. The figures are carved by hand from native sese wood and adorned with recycled glass bead jewelry; the woman wears a red cotton loincloth. Such fertility dolls are common in West Africa; they are carried by women hoping to conceive a child.

"Visions, Culture, History"

Beautiful piece of functional art. It is displayed in my entry hall, with African artifacts I have collected over the years, and never fails to elicit comments from people entering my home. I love that it doesnt really look too new, so it fits in with the theme of older items. Too, the size is perfect.

"Ghana handmade mirror now adorns my wall."

Colors are vivid. Mirror slightly distorts my image.

"Nice space saver"

The table is beautiful and in the spirit of the Adrinka. I love it. However, know this:1) the table is very light, it easily slips on hard floors and could tip in the process2) it is not carved out of a block as more ancient artifacts, but of three distinct pieces assembled by screws3) it is not totally even, so if you place it on a hard floor, you ll have to rig it so it does not wobble
