Details

In tones of blue, black, and white, an African xylophone player is featured in this expressionist composition by K. Baka. The musician happily plays on, framed against a village hut and a tree in the distance. This work depicts the Lobi tribe version of a xylophone, known as a gyil. According to legend, the gyil was given to humans by an antelope, and is believe to represent the sound of water.

"These Napkin Rings go well with Fiesta Dinnerware"

I gave these napkin rings as a gift to a lovely friend. The bright colors and beautiful handwork look beautiful with my friends Fiesta Dinnerware bevy of colors. But think of the color added to your table with a vase full of sunflowers and these napkin rings contrasting with your white dinnerware and napkins! Beautiful!
