Serious but content, a chimpanzee holds her young in loving arms. Bright Kofi Agbetey works in native ebony wood to carve this expressive image. He ably conveys the mother ape's love for her little one. Primatologist Jane Goodall reports that baby chimps are dependent on their mothers for the first five years of life.

"Elegant and touching"
The giraffes are sweet while looking dignified. The stain is a rich brown, the carving is well done, and its solid without being heavy. A romantic gift for some one who likes giraffes.
