Ghanaian artisan Ralph Ashong uses natural Cape cedar wood to create this attractive wall mirror. Over a cream base, the artisan hand paints geometric shapes that lend a rustic allure to the design. The bottom part of the mirror features three iron hooks that are perfect for hanging small accessories. An adinkra symbol adorns the left side of the frame, and is called gyawu atiko, an Akan word meaning "bravery and valor." Adinkra symbols are believed to have their origin an ancient kingdom that once stood where Ivory Coast is today in West Africa.

The mirror is far more beautiful than the images. The leaves are laid over the underlying frame and caste a small relief. The green is a hue and has a depth of color. It is very professionally finished and perfect in every way. Packed beautifully and arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Ralph and Novica, I could not have asked for better.
