African Tree Carving

About the Item

A unique African carving of eight villagers at work and play. The piece is hand-carved into a tree branch that has dark wood on the inner layers and light wood on the outer layers. It is truly a unique and fabulous piece of art. The backside of the branch still maintains the tree bark.
