Details

Abena goes about her chores with patience and grace, beautifully depicted in this sese wood sculpture. Balancing a jar on her head, she carries a baby nestled in a shawl on her back while a toddler tugs at her legs. Victoria Agyepomaa names this pregnant mom Abena Maame. Abena is the name of a girl born on Tuesday, and maam means "mother" in the Akan language.
