African EBONY WOOD Sculpture HeadStudy Hanging Earlobes Beautiful carved african ebony wood sculpure of a man's head, hair in a ponytail, elongated earlobes. Definately not a "whittled" piece. The material and details speak for themselves. Obtained from my uncle who travelled through Africa. Height 7", width 2.5". Ebony wood is an exceptionally hard and beautiful wood found only in the Sahara desert regions of Africa. Its exceptional density not only makes it very heavy, but also gives it an incomparable sheen when polished. Because of the high value and heaviness of this wood, only the master carvers of Africa are able to use it for their craft. They use simple hand tools to produce the works of art sold at . In ancient days, the royalty of Persia and India would travel to West Africa to find ebony to use for scepters, sculptures and drinking chalices. Even now ebony is considered the most valued and treasured wood to be found. Ebony normally is brown on the outside of the tree; and black on the inside. The carvings often come as a beautiful mixture of black and brown; as well as the pure blackwood that is most well known. Each has its own special beauty.
