From Ghanaian artisan Rita Addo Zakour comes this captivating sculpture of a human figure standing in a thoughtful pose. The sculpture is hand-carved out of sese wood, painted black, and embellished with a kite-shaped brass plate on the figure's abdomen. The artisan names the sculpture Dwenewoho, which means "think about yourself" in the Akan language.
