The Craftsmanship of the people of Ghana

I want to share some of the beautiful art pieces here in Ghana so.....here goes!

Deluxe Umbrellas for sale

They have beautiful basket weaving here.  The baskets are called Bolga baskets, named after the town Bolgatanga which is in the upper northern region where the weaving originated many years ago

An interesting piece of artwork at the Bean Hotel.

Our Christmas splurge....what could be more beautiful?

You will often see the men here dressed in these shirts on Sundays.  They're made of Kente woven cloth and are heavy.  They are very wide and have ties at the side.  There are several hanging here for sale.  The booth to the left is lottery.

Beautiful woodworking

Same bowl, different side

Another traditional type of men's clothing.  Usually worn on the weekends to funerals.  These robes may be from Kente cloth or just colorful Ghanaian weaves.  I think we need to get Elder H. one of these...
