Don't Miss to visit Woodcavers in Dar

For the past centuries some of the African societies had their way of living, and some of them still do. These ways of living have been preserved through the art of woodcarving, these skilful artists have their way into the wood and make it look like a real thing. You and I may wonder how possible this can be done. From the below pictures you can see different traditions, customs and cultures especially here in Tanzania.

This is really impressive work @jonesndekia , it’s incredible how they can create something so detailed from a single piece of wood.

I especially like the map of Africa, it looks really nice.

Do you have some of these sculptures at home?

I guess it’s almost a must to acquire one of these as a souvenir if you have the chance @jonesndekia . I would have gotten one myself.
