Stunning Tribal art carved coasters
If you want an extremely original talking point, then get this unusual coaster set out for your guests. This container and coaster's are carved tribal art at its best, the container alone must have taken best part of a year to carve in what I think they call or could be classed as African Iron wood one of the hardest woods in the world maybe thee hardest wood in the world that's why this highly intricate container is so tactile. Then you have the six coaster's that are very heavy sturdy ones and you can see underneath how it has been originally sawn, but God knows how long a tribesman would have taken to cut all these, probably from the same branch. Each coaster has a carved animal: ie elephant, rhino, wildebeest I think tiger etc. The only reason I'm selling part of my collection is that I have 5 grandchildren and funds need replenishing or I would never part with these far too important to me for many, many, years. I don't know what era they come from but I wood think (do u get it wood) I would think probably 40s or 50s because I've had them many years from my travels in my youth, maybe even earlier for the tourist trade. We Will truly miss them, that's why we only want reasonable offer,s. Was offered £ from a dealer at an antique fair we went to about 9 years ago. (should have taken it) Read more
