Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. In Central Ghana lies the town of Benya, whose lagoon exists as a revered natural resource and inspiration for this work by Nana Frimpong. The artisan patiently carves local sese wood to create the decorative throne, accentuating the grain with the soothing luster of mansion polish. Replete with precise geometric designs on the seat, it is sure to lend an empowered ambiance to any decor. Care instructions: The throne's regal appearance may be maintained by using a dry cloth and shoe polish. Avoid using anything wet - including water or spray polish - when cleaning the throne. Artisan Info: Nana Frimpong is the chief carver for the king of the Ashanti. Frimpong's artistry has been featured on BBC's The World program, and in periodicals including Business Week, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post. He is also featured in Keepers of the Arts, a beautiful hardcover book available through Novica. "I am currently the chief carver for the king of the Ashanti, because of my great ability in carving. Some of my work for the king includes objects with the gye nyame (symbol for the supremacy of God), stools, staffs and other royal and ceremonial objects.
