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.

This is nice and expensive, it is rather small and so is the hole for your flowers. I am not sure how or what others have planted in the 5-6 inch hole that isnt 5-6 inches deep. It is sturdy and looks good, I wish it wasnt as expensive.

Planted with a vieny plant that drapes out of the container, it looks great in our sunroom. Th proportions are a bit different than picturd. It mght be the perspective of the picture or a result of the handcrafted nature where each one is different. The head and the container above are smaller in proprotion to the base and arms but I like it as it is, also.

This planter is a wonderful addition to my many other "different" types of planters. I put a plastic liner in it and planted it with a feathery fern and spagnum moss and it looks great on my deck for the summer.
