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.
