Swahili | AFRICAN MODERN African Violet Veta Vera Hand Fan Woven Wall Art

Where them fans at? In Ghana's northern Bolgatanga region, where native weavers craft multi-colored hand fans from veta vera grass (aka “elephant grass”). When not cooling yourself off during a heat wave, or fancifully waving them around in a line dance, the fan can serve as decorative wall art.

Activate sound and touch with this natural shaker made from a simple dried gourd. Ghanaian artisans turn natural elements — including rope, beads and limestone chippings — into this instrument that rattles when shaken. Each shaker includes decorative wood burning, with a combination of starbursts and geometric designs.
