Sankofa United Treasures Norman Hughes "Joy" Nyame Dua 13"H Figurine, 1998

Just one look makes you come to life.

Norman Hughes (1947-2016) was one of the first sculptors to create African American figurines, and the Sankofa Collection for United Treasures, elicited the graceful beauty of the West African Ashanti culture.

With its smooth, serene lines and flawless cream colored dress, which faintly captures the outline of a striking woman, bearer of life, "Joy" awakens the spirituality of positive experiences-love, freedom, and all things good. It is such a stunning and overwhelmingly inspiring piece. Love, love, love it.
