Handcarved Gye Nyame Symbol Statue(Ghana)

Add the mystery of ancient Africa to your decor with Worldstock's Hand-carved Gye Nyame Symbol.

This eye-catching symbol was manufactured by the Agege carvers of the Ashanti tribe in a small village on the outskirts of Kumasi City. It is an ancient symbol that is found on a variety of handcrafted Ghanaian items. The literal meaning of the symbol refers to God as being the only thing to fear in this world.

The Story Behind the Product

Nana was born to a family of 9 children in the town of Kumasi in Ghana, West Africa. His parents divorced when he was only 8 years old and Nana became so rebellious that his mother sent him to live with his father in Tamale (in the Northern region of Ghana) when Nana was 12 years old. It was there that he developed an interest in art. He dropped out of school when he was 14 and started training with a master carver in Tamale. In 2000 Nana began selling his products through Worldstock. Nana is now married with 3 children and lives in Accra, Ghana. He is now a master carver with his own shop and 10 employees. Nana?s life has been so improved since he began working with Worldstock that he named his son after his contact at Overtsock.com.
