Rustic Carved Wood Wall Accent with Gye Nyame Adinkra Symbol, "Except God"

This richly detailed plaque is crafted by artisan Musah Abdallah in Ghana. He carves the piece by hand from native sese wood, carefully detailing a lion baring its fangs, a man playing a drum, and the adinkra symbol gye nyame or "except God", which acknowledges the omnipotence and immortality of God. The artisan gives the plaque a rustic, aged finish with an application of local clay.
