Conversation piece

These look great anywhere! They are a conversation piece as everyone wants to know where I acquired them and then I share the symbolism of the birds reaching back. They could go anywhere in my house because they look formal enough for a nice dining room.

A GORGEOUS addition to my collection

This was a gift from a client that I chose; today my Akua'ba of the Ashanti ll statue finally arrived. I love it!! It's exactly as described and came beautifully packaged. It joints other items in my beloved collection of artifacts that speak to me. Abdulai Osman Adam carves from the heart. I'll be returning to purchase more from this Ghanaian artist. Thank you, sir!
