Delivery EstimateHistorically carved only for elderly West African royalty, this walking stick is adorned with local motifs and symbols. A solitary bird rests underneath the handle, symbolizing peace. Daniel Nyadedzor patiently crafts this piece from sese wood, adorns it with aluminum plating, and finishes it with white clay and cream emulsion paint to achieve its antique appearance. Nyadedzor names the walking stick Togbe, or "chief," in honor of his rich cultural heritage.

"So elegant !!!"
Ive been looking at this table for awhile, it is so lovely. So when I had a discount available, I had to use it for this table. I am so glad. It is much more lovely than I expected, much heavier, also. I cherish my things that are handmade.

"A string too short"
I give one star just because of string. This artist wants to economize some milimeter in the string and he doesnt think how it could be hanged on the wall.I bought 3 times and I had always the same problem.
