Ashanti / Akan peoples, Ghana, Mid–20th century

 A classic akuaba fertility figure carved in dark hardwood with the iconic flat, disc‑shaped head and abstracted female body. The figure shows a serene, oval face with arched brows, slit eyes, and small projecting mouth, set on a ringed neck above a columnar torso with outstretched arms, pointed breasts, and a pronounced navel. Yellow and black glass trade‑bead necklaces are wrapped at the neck and waist, adding a subtle accent of color and reinforcing its identity as a fertility charm. 

Dimensions Height of figure: 12.25 in (31.1 cm) Height including base: approx. 13.5 in (34.3 cm) Left are restored.

Provenance Ex Berz Gallery of African Art, San Francisco, with their label on the underside of the base; acquired by Sid Hart, Cos Cob, Connecticut.
