Wherein the family would put it out once a year during a family gathering. The eldest man or woman would sit on the stool and recall stories from the family’s' past. Children especially delighted in this recount. Consider starting this tradition in your household. Crafted in Ghana. Please click photo for enlargement! See another photo and Order button below.
