THORNE CARVINGS
These are made from the Thorne that grows out of the
back of a tree called Egungun, which can be fund in the rain forest.
It can be removed from time to time. The Thorne is big and almost have
a round shape but flat at the surface at which it attached to the
tree. Its tip is as sharp as a needle.
The Thorne grows
in three different colours: white, light brown and dark brown. The
Thorne carvers carve the Thorne with a very sharp knife. This is one
of Yoruba folk arts to illustrate the Yoruba system of co-habitation.
