    Handmade by artisans from Ghana, this statue of interlocking dancing figures is a symbol of unity for the Ashanti tribe.

    Artisans carve the figures from a single piece of wood, so they cannot be separated without breaking the statue. Belief in the strength of unity among the ancient Ashanti people made this figure a potent cultural symbol.

    Incorporating indigenous resources, the creation of this unique piece provides opportunity for local artists and aids in the development of their economy.

    The handcrafted nature of this product will produce slight variations in form and sizing. All measurements are approximate.

A WORK OF ART

I ordered this statue two years ago. I have it placed on my dining room table as the center piece with a gold leafed glass bowl on top. It is absolutely breathtaking. I get so many compliments from everyone that visits my home. And the complexity and design is fascinating. How they carved that piece by hand is unbelievable. Not to mention the price. I know many stores that have statue like decor with prices too high for the purchase. This product is well worth it...

Very Cool

jrzrp93 from Nebraska, Oct 20, 2009

I purchased this because we have a family of five and I thought it would make a nice dining room table centerpiece. I was pleasantly suprised. The quality was better than I expected. It looks really nice with a colorful bowl resting in it. I is also much larger than I expected.
