Why not embark on your journey into the afterlife in a vessel that uniquely represents you - your trade, your dreams, your passions in life?
Mentored by Kane Kwei (the carpenter who developed this craft in the 1950's) Paa Joe's customized, figurative coffins follow the traditional, colorful and celebratory burial rituals of West Africa.
His work has been shown in galleries around the world - as seen here thanks to the Jack Bell Gallery of London.
Paa Joe's workshop is located in the coastal town of Teshi, Ghana.
