This superb piece of hand crafted African art depicts an African mother with a child on her back. On her head the sculpture carries a vessel and in her hand she carries a farming tool, which makes it possible to identify her as a farmers wife or a farm worker. This beautiful hand crafted piece of African artwork has been carved out of mosonia wood which is well known for it hard wearing properties. The wood grain is clearly visible and adds to the attraction of the piece. This lovely piece of African art is a great alternative to the usual depiction of mother and child profile and would look great wherever it is placed.
