About
This is a quite rare and beautiful pair of King and Queen matrimonial carved figures in the Ashanti tradition, which I purchased in Kumasi in Ghana in 2007.
They are both seated on Ashanti stools, or Sika Dwa in Twi. The king holds an Akrafena sword in his right hand. He wears a ceremonial cap and has a sting of tiny white beads around his neck. The Queen carries a large fruit in her right hand symbolising fertility. She has a necklace of tiny green beads around her neck. They have been finely carved from wood and have a patina of age and handling.
Collect for free or can be shipped UK £5.50 or world wide please enquire.
