African woman with pear bowl

In words of George Kimble, “The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it.” Through the items you will find in this website, we are trying to help clear the picture, putting an end to false conceptions. The African continent is not one big country were locals speak African. They may have common values or similar beliefs, but each region, country, tribe and family are uniquely extraordinary. These small figures of African women and men represent the African way of life, their day-to-day tasks. They are a symbol of the African strength, a piece of the African spirit in your home. The bowl this woman carries is made of clay. This kind of material will keep the water always cool. She carries the water to the men in the farms.
