Two women stand side by side, their dark silhouettes crowned with explosive gèlè of gold, orange, and red against a cool silver-grey ground. Pearl necklaces and patterned garments speak of elegance and tradition — My daughter named this one. Says it's one of her favourites. She didn't like it at first but fell in love with it after I explained to her the nostalgic value of the piece to me. It embodies a quiet ceremony, delicate strength and tender portrait of feminine grace, memory, and the things that bind us together.

This is a one-of-a-kind original. Once sold, it is gone forever.
