Youngquist Handmade Figurine / Sculpture Decorative Object

Prince Amartey creates a design of his own imagination, incorporating stylistic motifs from West Africa. Carved by hand of sese wood, this handsome personage wears an ornate headdress. Another face observes the world from atop the headdress, as though it were the man's guardian. Colored with natural dyes, the sculpture is embellished with applications of richly embossed aluminum. "Asuo" is a popular name among the Akan people.
