Carved by hand from sese wood, this handsome sculpture is the work of Winfred Korley. Ghana's renowned handwoven kente cloth envelops the handle of a rustic machete. On the blade, adinkra symbols include the number one, a heart and epa (law and justice). "In my own tribe, the 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.
