Celebrate the artistry of West African craftsmanship with this handcrafted bronze sculpture from Burkina Faso. Skilled artisans in Ouagadougou shape each piece to capture the joy and grace of African women in moments of triumph. No two sculptures are identical—you'll receive a one-of-a-kind work in a unique color and pose. Standing 5-6" tall and measuring 3-3.5" in length, this petite treasure brings cultural authenticity and artistic soul to any space. Crafted from bronze and finished with paint, it's a meaningful way to honor and display African heritage.

African Modern (Swahili) | Fair Trade | Made in Burkina Faso

For 30 years, African Modern (formerly known as Swahili Imports) has been showcasing modern African artistry through an evolving collection of beautiful handmade baskets, furniture, sculpture, wooden bowls, jewelry and accessories. We partner with craft producers to design products that preserve traditional craft forms and appeal to modern lifestyles.

Representing artisans from 12 nations across Africa, African Modern is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. We believe that the exchange of handcrafted goods should uplift skilled artisans and inspire conscientious collectors. Many of our products are crafted from natural or recycled materials. Others highlight the vibrance of modern African culture and the immense creativity of artisan entrepreneurs across the continent.

Our team members travel to Africa throughout the year to design with our artisan partners, ensuring that we always have a fresh selection to offer you.
