"In Ghana we continue to have traditional ways of doing business, which are very effective and mainly done by women. They carry their wares on their heads, trays of fruits and foods, which they sell on the street or from door to door. They play a serious role in the development of Africa yet credit is not given to them, so this is my way of honoring them," explains Samuel Ashong. He masters batik techniques to portray six women carrying trays filled with fruits and food. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.

Distinctive and vibrant”

This was the first piece of art I ever bought - I wanted something that captured my love for West African music. The colours are so intense without being jarring. My mum has a piece by the same artist and loves it too.

Beautiful Batik”

The art is beautiful and will be a great addition to our home. The packaging did protect the batik, but the matting is creased on one entire short end.
