Wood sculpture, ‘Akan Elephant’
By Susan
great eye for simplicity
this artist sees the importance of simple yet not missing the detail of structure. this is a gift to a collector of elephant sculptures and my only regret is; when sent to me ; the packer didnt enclose the gift card , which to me is important as a collectors piece. i called novica and said as much but , i still dont know if ill get the card so i can include it with the gift when the time comes for giving.
