African Sculptures

Some of these beautiful sculptures are hand carved in olive tree wood. Olive wood is considered a high-end, luxurious wood. It is not only beautiful and elegant, but also precious and coveted. Its production is limited and the advantages are many. These are some of the characteristics of olive wood: It is a strong, hard and heavy wood. It is extremely exotic and elegant, and despite its hardness, the wood's tight grain and natural oil make it friendly to turn and carve. Some of the human figures here on display are chiseled extensions of the unprocessed olive tree trunks.
