NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Two figures embrace to demonstrate the concept of sono, or unity. Frank Obiri-Ntow turns to the Navorongo people of northern Ghana for this handsome design. He carves the occent table by hand and applies a dark finish with mansion polish. Artisan Info: "Frank Obiri-Ntow is my name and I was born on December 20, 1956 at Asamankese in Ghana. After completing my schooling in 1973, I was admitted to a technical commercial college and graduated in 1978. "From 1983 to 1986, Mr. Osei in Obourkrom trained me as a woodcarver; I then attended an export school, and eventually joined a national handicraft association. I am married with two children and I am training two people at my workshop. My work has been shown in Berlin every year since 2000 and in the U.S. in 2003."
