African Wood Carvings – there has always been a fascination with the human figure in African art and it’s typically the primary theme for both ancient and modern African wood carvings. Another common African wood carving theme is the combination of both human and animal figures, which show the close relationship between an African and nature. Most of the wood carvings of Africa are made from ebony wood, an exceptionally dense and beautiful wood found only in the Sahara desert regions of Africa.
