Ebony - Stylised Women "Pegele"

Under: Art » Ebony Carvings

Stylized women. Elegant mini statuettes, these women show the working part of the African culture. Notice that they do not have any detail on their faces; in Africa artists rarely carve the details of ones face. It is said that if they are carved evil spirits will see the face and go to torment the person carved. These women are finely carved and are about 1 + ft. tall. Made in Mali
