By George Obeng, this handsome end table conveys the beauty of West African tradition. The circular table is crafted of native sese wood with wave motifs carved into the borders. The base depicts an adinkra symbol known as Pempamsie in the Twi language. It means "to keep and preserve." The symbol encourages careful planning but warns against procrastination. "It is a symbol of precaution and readiness," the artisan says.Please note: this table features a distressed finish, giving it the look of a vintage piece.
