Dressed in her colorful best, a woman places a hand on her stomach and smiles. Victor Yao Delanyo carves a delightful portrait of an obaatan (new mother in the Akan language). Tied in a shawl on her back, the infant accompanies his parent everywhere she goes. Delanyo sculpts the piece from sese wood and paints it by hand. The statuette also wears bead necklaces.
