Product details
An African head planter inspired by Ashanti art: a cast stone face with hand-painted markings, a gold nose ring, gold earring studs and a black and white patterned collar. Choose blue, yellow, red or a colour of your own. It works as a planter or as sculpture on its own. One of our head and face planters.
Planting
Drainage hole: plant straight in. Cache pot: a sealed base for a nursery pot inside. Succulents and small houseplants suit it.
Choosing your own colour
Select Custom and tell us the colour you would like in the box that appears. We confirm the finish before we make it. The shape and painted detail stay the same.
Made to order
Made to order and finished by hand in Cumbria, UK, so each piece varies a little from the photographs. The dispatch time and delivery to your country are shown near the top of this page, beside the price.
As a gift
A colourful birthday or housewarming gift for a friend who loves bold art and plants.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Outdoors, a sheltered spot helps protect the painted finish.

I love this head plant pot. I ordered a custom colour, black and it looks amazing. I several African head planters now, but would buy this again if I need another.

I absolutely LOVE it!!! This is my second planter, same design, purchased from this shop because of my love for the first one. However, this time I requested a custom color, lime green, and they nailed it. Customer service is awesome! They showed me a picture/swatch of the lime green they had on hand, but still inquired as to whether or not I had something else in mind…theirs was/is perfect.
Although a delay in shipping time is to be expected because of being a hand made item and being shipped from another Country to the US, the wait time was not bad at all….and it was well worth it.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This is such a beautifully painted and well made planter. I love the overall design and how solid it is. The opening for a plant is pleasantly, and surprisingly, much larger than you’d think at approximately 6inches wide. I placed a 5inch planter with a plant in it, with room to spare. Although you can, I will not be planting a plant directly in it because it’s way too nice (pretty) and a true one of a kind collectors item. Again, it’s BEAUTIFUL! I love it!🥰
Friendly and supportive customer service. Lee was extremely helpful, responsive to all my questions prior to purchase, and very kind. (Thank you Lee! You’re greatly appreciated!)
The planter was packaged very well for shipping, and arrived safe and sound.
My only regret is that I didn’t order more than one. But, I look forward to my next purchase.😊Etsy c., September 2025
