Fireside Talk

I bought this at a dusty, chaotic market in Johannesburg years ago.
It is small - the figurines are about 3" and I love how the carver
was able to catch the character of each one.
Sorry for not commenting lately - my computer crashed - just got it back, intact :)

An enchanting little carved sculpture for sure and an excellent image. I am glad you got your computer fixed. This would be a really horrible time not to have one. I hope you are well. Happy Easter! ~BV~

What a unique and impressive little carving. I'll bet the characters are people from the carver's life.
