"The
Story Teller" Based on 15th Century
Benin Africa, they did not have a written
language but they had a storyteller who
would pass the history and culture down to
the tribe, usually at night, usually
outside around a fire. 110 hours to
complete this piece with lots of detail.
This piece is not for sale but I will
carve a similar one. All work is original
so no two pieces are exactly alike.
I can also add family members faces to the
storyteller and tribe members.

"Congo" This piece has a design of man and woman
which I took off a relic found in the congo area. Carved Ebony African female
serves as a handle for the lid. Adinkra symbols decorate the lid.
Adinkra symbols have meaning and was the first form of a written language. Symbols have
meanings like Courhage, Strength, Wisdom, The King sees all, Unity, and God. I use
them to describe how I feel about the piece I am
creating.
