Abdulai Osman Adam reinterpreta la tradición con su extraordinaria versión de la legendaria Akuaba, la muñeca de la fertilidad del pueblo Ashanti. Según la leyenda, había una vez una mujer que no podía concebir, por lo que el sacerdote del pueblo le dijo que fabricara una muñeca, la vistiera y la cuidara como lo haría con un niño. Pronto tendría un hijo propio. La costumbre persiste y muchas mujeres preparan su propia muñeca Akuaba, y cuando nace el niño, se le da Akuaba como el primer juguete del bebé. Adam talla a mano esta escultura de madera de sese y adorna su elaborado tocado con batik de algodón africano y placas de aluminio magníficamente detalladas.

Gift for son, he absolutely loves it as this is his first mask of many to cover his wall... I say, it is well made and beautifully crafted and would definitely buy again for myself.

For years my son and I used a single musical note as a symbol between the two of us. Finding this was such a treat. It was a perfect gift for him and designed in such a way that it was masculine enough.
