Kobina Asmah pays tribute to the Abyssinian cat, once believed to have originated in Ethiopia. Carving sese wood, he depicts the elongated legs and big ears of the native African feline. Applications of repoussé suggest the unique coat, and bright beadwork adds color.

"Very nice addition to my living room . . ."
The piece is true to what is depicted. I'm a lover of cats and enjoy seeing this sculpture on my floor, in a corner spot. Thank you Kobina for your dedication to the arts, and to animals.

"Oba Wooden Sculpture Coloring/Quality Off"
This sculpture of the Benin Oba is rare, but the item I received did not have the richness of the picture. Also the sculptures coloring on the neck had bed a-lot when the item arrived. This was going to be a culmination moment of my current collection. .
