"It requires a lot of carefulness to kill the fly that perches on the scrotum."

Some situations demand precision over force. Rush in and you'll regret it. From Ghana, a proverb that is technically about a fly, and entirely about everything else.

This is an original illustrated work from Mopti's African Proverbs Series — hand-selected proverbs from across the continent, brought to life through original illustration.

Designed for A4 — the right size for a desk, a shelf, or the start of a gallery wall.
