Wood statuette, 'Dark Beauty'

The smooth textures of finely carved gyene wood offer organic harmony to this carving by Madam Adwoa and the artisans of Onyame Akwan Dooso. A crowning loop of headgear emerges boldly, enhancing the essence of femininity, exquisiteness, and modesty presented by the figure. Jet features are illuminated by balanced shades of red and white, while elegant rings ascend her pillared neck. A striking figure to display in a tasteful setting.

Madam Adwoa & Onyame Akwan Dooso

Madam Adwoa became involved in handicrafts through her mother, who sold Adinkra symbols and kente cloths. While helping her mother, she began to offer a small number of woodcarvings, which to her surprise sold very well in the market. This inspired Madam Adwoa to pursue woodcarving as a career. After a period of careful instruction in the creation and finishing of finely sculpted objects, she opened up her own workshop, under the banner, "God moves in mysterious ways."

Currently Madam Adwoa heads a team of fifteen artisans in her workshop. As a highly evolved and dedicated creator, she demands only the best from her staff.
