Handmade Traditional Abstract Wall Decor on Wood

Carved by hand from sese wood, this handsome sculpture is the work of Winfred Korley. Ghana's renowned hand-woven kente cloth envelops the handle of a rustic machete. On the blade, adinkra symbols include the gym name (the supremacy of God) and Sankofa (learn from the past). "In my own tribe, Ga, newly elected chiefs are given this machete to hold during their inauguration," the artisan explains. A loop on the handle permits it to hang on the wall.
