Description

wood, metal, miniature beads, base

The Kamba traditionally applied their carving skills to articles of daily use. The first figurative carvings can be traced back to one man called “Mutisya Munge”, a Kamba tribesman, who joined the army in 1914 and at the same time began to produce carvings of Askaris and African people in traditional clothing for the purpose of selling them to Europeans.
