He sits in the shade of a tree beside his home and pounds a lively cadence on the drum. Eric Darko shares West African traditions in his exquisite wood carvings. This relief sculpture is named Adeshieman Mo Ntie, "Royal People Listening" in the Akan language. It depicts the person selected by town elders to play the talking drums that carry messages.

"Not functional"
This chair is only for viewing. It?s not functional at all. I bought these as an anniversary gift to replace my husband?s old African lazy chair which he use to read in and take naps. Now, I?m out of $239 for two chairs, no gift, and a shipping g cost which incentivized keeping chairs I don?t like. I will never buy anything from here online. Never.
