About this item

"Bring a touch of African culture to your home with a tribute to the traditional Dogon boards of Mali, revered for their intricate depictions of human and animal figures that served as protectors of the household, warding off malevolent spirits. This spectacular wall relief panel showcases Ghanaian artisan Ayoma Alhassan's exceptional talent for hand-carving mahogany. The unique decorative accent features a cast of intriguing figures, including monkey-faced humans and a man with a big, round head, all of which are exquisitely adorned with accents made from a blend of charcoal and glue. Alhassan's masterful craftsmanship is also evident in the intricate hand-painted details that bring a dash of color."

About the maker

Ayoma Alhassan

"In line with my work, I met a lady whom I married, and we had two kids. Unfortunately, she is now dead, but I remarried because I was still young. My dream for the future is to revamp my old workshop. Art for me is a passion, and so I will be teaching more and more youth. I have also taught my son to do the calabash art finishing. My aim is to continue building on my creative skills.”

“I am Ayoma Alhassaan. I was born in Nima, a suburb of Accra. My mum was a trader and my dad a gardener. I come from a very large family; I have 5 siblings. I am a very hardworking artist. After form 3, I didn't continue with my education. A friend of mine convinced me to travel to Lagos, Nigeria, and that was why I didn't continue with my education. I had to work in a harbor. From Lagos I went to Libya, and later I returned to Ghana to learn art and finishing at the Accra Art Centre. That was where I also learned to design calabash pieces, and I have now mastered the craft.
