Catalogue Note
This mid-century Ashanti marriage sculpture, carved in Southern Ghana during the 1950s, stands as a quiet testament to the ideals of union and ancestral protection that shape Ashanti tradition. The married couple’s serene, elongated forms and geometric motifs evoke both timeless beauty and spiritual resonance, with each detail—a gentle touch of pigment, a subtle patina—reflecting the artisan’s skill and the sculpture’s ceremonial role. Traditionally displayed in household shrines or given as gifts to newlyweds, such works remain deeply rooted in West African heritage. This example is preserved in excellent vintage condition, with only light wear to the painted surface, offering collectors a rare link to the Ashanti legacy.
