This is the pot holder, carrying palm wine from the bush to the village to sell at the market. Eric Danquah hand-carves his sleek form, the deep black color contrasting alluringly with the vibrant red of the earthen vessel poised gracefully on his shoulder. The piece is hewn from local sese wood, its rich grain adorned with a finish of mansion polish. Emotive in its form, this sculpture makes a worthy addition to a tasteful space.
