A tribute to the woman who taught me the value of keeping our stories close. Created using fabric from my Mother's business, African Images, this domino set carries a legacy of color, culture, and craftsmanship from one generation to the next. Encased in resin and housed in a wooden keepsake box, it's made to be played, displayed, and shared.
Includes:
• 28 standard-size dominoes
• Wooden keepsake box with clear sliding lid
• Polishing cloth
