This is a wonderfully crafted Yoruba piece of furniture. After looking at this table is will be easy to understand why the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria are known as a tribe of prolific artists. This table features a woman who is dancing in accompaniment to the music that the drummer is playing on his gongon drum. The movement and the joy of the dancers can be felt simply by studying the figures. Both figures are dressed in the native attire. The woman is dressed in her wrapper and head ties whilst the man is dressed in his agbada. The carving is very intricate and no surface has been left unadorned. Around the dancers ad zig-zag motif has been carved which continues down to the legs of the table and the outer edges making sure that this is an exquisitely carved functional piece of African art.
