A bouncing kangaroo mother carries her little one safely in a snug pouch. West African artisan hand carves this beautiful sculpture from rich mahogany wood, adding a matching base for the kangaroo to crouch.

This was a surprise for my wife who loves hippos. I waited a number of weeks for it to make it to the US.The quality of the sculpture is outstanding, with great shape, color and finish. It looks just like the picture shown on the Novica website.

Ebony is a very costly wood.When I received the sculpture, I was surprised with the weight. Ebony is heavy because dense. This peace is not heavy. Its not ebony I think to myself. But I could be wrong. So I decided to sand the sculpture: unfortunately it was a dyed wood, colorized with black painted.I paid very much and the wood is not Ebony.

This ebony rhinoceros is wonderful. I have another carving by Mr. Avorwlanu, a rosewood hippopotamus. Love it also.
