Lali crab red letter tray

The Lali collection is a happy marriage of Dar Leone's interest in Akan and Ashanti woven, filigree gold patterns and also oft-seen geometric patterns in historical Sierra Leonean architecture and design. The beaded edging on the lozenge pattern is a common feature of filigree gold in West Africa from a wide range of tribes from the Fullahs of Guinea to the Baule of the Ivory Coast.
