About this item

"In the stand of this striking accent table, the figure of an African woman is hand-carved of cedar wood and wears jewelry of recycled glass seed beads. She takes the shape of the classic Ghanaian akuaba, or fertility doll. From Raphat Asigbey, the artisan places her between a circular base and tabletop with geometric patterns."

Raphat Asigbey

I was taught by Daniel Quarcoo, a Novica-featured artisan. Starting out on my own was very difficult when I didn't have enough money to complete orders. I went through a hard time when I didn't receive enough work to support my family. I then worked for an exporter for a while, and later began participating in exhibitions.

To master this art, I practiced crafting more unique designs.

My favorite pieces are the Ashanti stools, or throne ottomans, which I craft with my own designs. My assistants now help me sand down the carvings and help with the finishing. I find it most challenging when depicting animals. My creative inspiration comes from dreams and the Bible.

I hope to one day become a recognized artist worldwide and be able to help the poor in my community.
