$113
Akan-inspired fertility decor, this carved akuaba figure blends geometric design with deep symbolic meaning — a standout African accent.
Cultural/Design Context
The Akuaba figure is one of the most recognized symbols from Ghana’s Akan people. Traditionally carved by or for women hoping for fertility, these sculptures represent ideals of beauty, health, and prosperity. With its oversized circular head, narrow body, and exaggerated features, this figure expresses both femininity and divine balance, often carried or displayed in homes for protection and blessings.
Visual Details
This piece features a large flat disc head carved with parallel diagonal lines in soft yellow pigment. The eyes are almond-shaped and closed, beneath a gently arched brow line. The nose and mouth are sharply defined, while the stylized breasts and long torso lead into a conical base. The surface is smooth with a dark matte finish, accented by minimal golden linear details on the base and head.
How to Use/Display
Ideal for placement on a shelf, niche, altar, or art pedestal. It pairs well with rustic wood, earthenware, and global interior themes — making it a meaningful accent in entryways, offices, or sacred corners.
