Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is a 18k yellow gold fertility pendant. This hand-crafted pendant is beautifully crafted and quite unusual. The pendant is a wooden ritual figure from Ghana called an akua'ba, after a legendary woman named Akua who had a wooden doll made to help her conceive a child. Traditionally, these dolls are carried on the back of young women either hoping to conceive a child, or to ensure the attractiveness of the child being carried. The best known akua'ba are those of the Fanti people, and have large, disc-like heads. Other tribes in the West Africa region have their own distinctive style of akua'ba.

 

This pendant is unusual. It has a small akua-ba in the center of an elongated black oval made of Sese wood, a traditional wood used for Ghana's famous mask, drum, and other carvings. The wood is traditionally stained black. The black wooden oval is framed with 18k gold, giving the fertility god a dramatic framed backdrop. The pendant has a large articulated bail to accommodate your chain. 




The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
