Hand-Carved and Painted Abstract Father and Child Sculpture, "Thoughtful Father"
Head in his hand, a young man is deep in thought. Reaching up to embrace him, a toddler seems to reassure his worried father. Abdulai Osman Adam works in abstract style to depict the pair in seasoned African sese wood. Applications of white clay give the image the appearance of a prized antique.
