Out of Africa

What's It Wednesday #11

In Ghana, It is more important to think then to react. This sculpture of the profile of the thinker is a nice reminder. 

 This metal water carrier walks among the porcelain roses.

 This darling Blackamoor stands tall and proud. Blackamoor mean't dark skin. I can tell you it was love at first sight the day he and I met. He represents the lovely people of northern Africa and Southern Spain.


This lovely "Queen Mother" is very tall and has a place of prominence on the entertainment unit in the family room
 My favorite ebony sculpture is of the woman and the vessel of water. It is quite a delicate carving.


These West African weddings combs are so unique. The carving is quite intricate.



Ghanaians are known for their fertility sculptures. They range from wedding combs to a variety of statues. 


This old guy keeps me on my toes. He is a beautiful ebony carving with a marble base. He hails from Kenya and adds just the right touch on top of the refrigerator.

 This is a collection of carved canes from Kenya and Ghana. They make a real statement in the entry.


Finally, these five gentlemen interlock and are carved from one piece of wood. Amazing! They form the base for this side table. 


Thanks for touring Africa with us this week!
