African Woman Tribal Dancer Hand Carved Wood Sculpture, "Adowa Dancer"

Kennedy K. Aseidu honors tradition with the sculpture of a woman dancing the Adowa. One of the most vastly performed dances of the Akan people, the Adowa is mainly danced by women with a choreography that seeks to replicate the movements of the antelope. It is mainly danced at funerals, yearly festivals and durbars. To create this sculpture, Ghana's Aseidu works with sustainable sese wood, masterfully transforming it into the sensual image of a female dancer. The wood base is finished with clay for a smart contrast.
