Aka

Marion was in Sierra Leone when he crossed paths with The Aka Collective. Colorful locals painted and prayed. Aka gifted Marion with this lovely tribal souvenir. This totem consists of German glass trade beads, decorated and rolled inner tube curls, pearls from The Waters, painted circles from an Aka ledger, and bits of the ticket from the train ride back to Namibia.
