Mframadan Teak Wood pendant necklace Lilyan Bebecke The dark grain of seseRalph Ashong's original design for this necklace is inspired by a vented house or Mframadan in Akan language. 'A vented house is a place of repose and relaxation. It underscores the importance of shelter to human existence and development,' explains the Ghanaian designer. The vents on this house shaped pendant are colored with a clay solution, creating an admirable effect on a hand carved teak wood. The pendant hangs from an adjustable leather cord.
