making it warmly personal in addition to beautifully minimal
Another charming piece from a lot of old handmade dollhouse furniture
The card on the back of the frame has bowed/warped a bit due to the weight and depth of the hair piece
I like the rustic-ness of this one and its relatively large and fat links

Fabulous c. 1980s Hair Stylist's Sign, Kumasi, Ghana, Painted Plywood native Nitinat carving making it warmly personal inThere are many many wonderful examples of painted signs from barbers and hairdressers in Ghana, Burkino Faso, Ivory Coast, and Tofo dating from the 1970 ies to the present but I must say this is one of my favorites I've seen, including for how regal and really Cleopatra esque she is, and also for being a cutout. This sign is from Kumasi, Ghana, with Ahenboboano I believe referring to the location (Airport Road) and Elvis the name of the painter,
