Sitting on a stool, a lovely young woman holds a large clay jar; another rests beside her. She is wrapped in a purple cloth and wears her hair tied up in scarves. By Cherkoh, this elegant portrait is filled with West African symbolism. To the right of the nubile girl, a large wooden comb is the adinkra symbol duafe, representing beauty and hygiene. To her left, hye wonhye (that which cannot be burnt ) symbolizes imperishability and endurance.
