Throne Ottoman "White Elephant"



Magnificently carved from sese wood, a proud bull (male) elephant bears the weight of an ottoman. Eddison Agbeko carves a traditional Ashanti throne for the contemporary décor. "The elephant is the strongest animal in the forest," Agbeko says. Thus he carries the king himself. The elegant ottoman receives an antique finish with white clay.
