Depicted vertically, the image on this pendant symbolizes closed lips. 'Though lips are meant for talking, speech must be seasoned,' believes Ralph Ashong making reference to the Akan saying Kasapa, (seasoned speech). The image is colored with a clay solution creating an admirable effect on a hand-carved teak wood pendant that hangs from an adjustable leather cord.
