'Djembe' African Drums and Elephant Carvings!!

Hey everyone, one thing can be sure when visiting South Africa is pretty much wherever you go in the country side from Cape Town to Limpopo at some point, you will encounter someone selling glorious wooden carvings.

The unemployment rate in South Africa is very high, so we have many resourceful entrepreneurs trying to make a living by selling their work on the side of the road. Here we have some iron wood Elephant carvings..

Bongo Drums awesome traditional African Musical Instruments made out of carved tree stumps and buck leather! Also known as 'Djembe' drums more here as per wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djembe

More random carvings from the very hard ironwood...

I have made a few other similar posts on our wonderful African art which can be seen here..
