Add a touch of Africa to any gathering with this wooden coaster set.
This four-piece set is handcrafted by tribes in Ghana. The designs on the coasters are from the Adinkra designs of the Ashanti tribe; the signs themselves symbolize peace and love. Each piece is constructed from Sesse wood.
The Story Behind the Product
Akwasi Agyeman was born into a family of 12 children in the small tribal village of Foase in Ghana, West Africa. The family was so poor that Akwasi was limited to only a 7th grade education in order to help his father farm to feed the family. In 7th grade his teacher asked each of them to make something for art class. Akwasi produced a Fertility Doll as his project and amazed the teacher. Akwasi knew then he had a natural talent for carving. After ten years and with the help of Fair trade Akwasi is now married with two handsome boys. He employs 15 people and has built a small three bedroom house for his family. Akwasi and his fellow artisans hope you enjoy their work.

ghana coasters
I bought another set of these about a year ago. The set I bought a year ago looked like authentic craftsmanship. I felt they were imported from Ghana. I bought more of these same coasters last month. The new coasters looked commercial-looking and fake. The quality of the coasters was not the same.

They're OK
They are Ok...Kinda expensive for what they are. But they match my furniture perfectly. I wish they were 100% exact. They are all different sizes which makes stacking them odd. Overall...they were a OK purchase.

Beautifully irregular
These coasters are beautiful, but don't expect them to stack up nicely like most coasters! They're really different sizes. But that's the appeal of handcrafted, I suppose!
