Signed Batik Cotton Wall Hanging Crafted in Ghana, "The Crowned Queen"

By Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adedunmola Adeniran, this cotton wall hanging depicts a trio of African queens. Each queen is depicted in white and yellow against a red background. This wall hanging is decorated using the batik method, where a wax resist is hand-painted onto the fabric before being dyed with different colors. Says the artist, "This piece talks about the respect queens have in the African setting."
