"I was born at in the eastern region of Ghana on July 23, 1968, and had my early education there. I trained in dressmaking but on completion of the course, I realized that the trade would not do well inm y town. I therefore decided to learn a popular trade like carving. I trained under one Kwame Duah and within three years I had perfected the skill and was developing woodcarvings on my own. Since 1995, I have been operating a workshop of my own with four people working under me. Fortunately, my husband David Assante also trained as a carver and so we combine our skills to design and carve the drums with perfection.
"From Nakese in the eastern region I acquire a type of hardwood known as tweneboa for carving the drums. For the pegs I use the odum tree. Other materials I use are animal skin, pieces of cloth, iron rods and strings. The wood is already carved into hollows before I buy it. I then carve in the Adinkra and other symbols and designs. The next stage is to have the apprentices smoothe the woodwork with sandpaper. The iron rings which are placed on the mouth of the drum are wrapped with pieces of cloth to prevent rusting. The animal skin is bought from the northern region of Ghana and its environs. It is soaked in water for about two hours to soften. The skin is firmly pulled through the iron rings to cover the mouth of the drum and this ensures that it comes out with a good sound. The drum is then left in the sun to dry after which it is tested for sound and tone quality.
"I love making drums. I believe that there are very bright business prospects for the African traditional drum. Though carving has long been regarded as the preserve of men, I am glad that I have been able not only to infiltrate but to also make an impact on the trade. For the years that I have been in this business, I have never had any regrets whatsoever. It is my fervent hope to carve more interesting drums for you to enjoy."

Cattaneo's transfer ("CATTA NICE ARTISAN") was similar to some used by Urago, depicting the eagle from the coat of arms of the town of Nice. The two appear to have been closely linked, Aniceto Cattaneo had his one man shop in downtown Nice but he worked for Urago as well.

During the genocidal reign of the Khmer Rouge, artists and academics were systematically encarcerated and decimated. The proud cultural history of the majestic Khmers was almost lost were it not for dedicated survivors who went on with the execution of art as art. One of the success stories is that of Artisan D'Angkor. Now, a self-sustaining workshop which plucks and trains ordinary village students in the age-old arts such as lacquerware, sculpture and painting, the center cultivates authentic workmanship and creativity.

Found this Nathan puzzle on Craigslist new and still in shrink wrap. It was part of a group of 3 that I bought and the one I really liked of the group. I think it's pretty rare.

You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.
