Gordon Adu honors Akan traditions with this admirable sculpture of a horn blower. In the olden days, the horn was used to convey special messages to the villagers. Nowadays, it is only used to announce the arrival of chiefs to the durbars, or the death of an important person, says Adu as he explains the customs of this Ghanaian community. He carves the sese wood sculpture of the Asemkafo (announcer) with exquisite detailed artistry.
