<B>Akan (Ghana)</B></I><BR><I>Akua ba</B></I><BR>Wood<BR>Height: 13 inches Width: 5 3/8 inches Depth: 2 1/8 inches<BR><BR>This is one of the best known types in traditional African sculpture, its name, <I>Akua ba,</B></I> meaning “Akua's child”. The legendary Akua had a beautiful daughter after carrying one of these figures. Subsequently, many Akan women carry them on the back, as an actual child would be carried, to influence the birth of beautiful daughters. The figure is in good condition, though there is a minor loss at the top center of the head and minor repatinated insect damage on the basal flange.<BR><BR>Provenance: Gary Hendershott, Little Rock<BR><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
