Evoking the spirit of Bosumtwi Lake, Ali Ibrahim crafts a beautiful decorative vase. He carves the piece by hand, adding rich repoussé textures with embossed aluminum and brass, and accentuating the contours with colors. Deep enough to hold silk flowers or foliage, the vase can stand alone as a sculptural work of art.

This Gye Nyame Trophy, form the Akan people of Ghana, means He who knows and sees everything . It works very well with my other collection of African art and receives complements as well.

This is very tall and very nice! I love the symbolism of it and it is a great conversation piece. Everyone who enters my house wants to know more about my lovely bird. I will treasure it forever.

My ancestors come from the Akan people and I was so happy to get them this weapon as they made it clear no other would do. I genuinely was so ecstatic to receive my package and I love everything about the sword! It?s powerful, elegant, meaningful, and just downright badass! Thank Ali Ibrahim for crafting this with your own hands. I read your story and was truly touched. Keep up the amazing work!
