Against a black and brown background, the silhouette of an African woman, nicknamed "Sister Ama," is flanked by the Adinkra symbol Gye Nyame, which signifies the supremacy of God. Ghanaian artist K. Baka creates this lovely wall hanging.

“Batik wall hanging”

Another piece I just love in my living room. The colors are vibrant and it is large enough to make a statement. Catches everyones eye when they enter the room.
