Product Description:

The Bookends and Maasai Sculptures Set is a wonderful set of carved decorative objects handmade by a Kenyan artisan. This set is comprised of two Animal Bookends (one large and one small) and one large Maasai Moran Sculpture.

Kindly Note: Please allow for slight variations in size, shape, and finish/color since this is a handmade craft.

Animal Bookends:

These creative bookends incorporate African wild animals and traditional African society in a single craft. The artisan has used them to represent a balanced integration of the traditional African culture with the modern world. This particular size is big enough for you to use them as statement pieces or to place on either side of large coffee table books. The bookends come in one large and one medium size and there are 4 available designs to choose from which are:

  • Elephant
  • African Elephant
  • Camel
  • Giraffe

Large Size: 6W x 20L x 25H
Medium Size: 5W x 18L x 20H

Maasai Moran Sculptures:

The Maasai Moran Sculptures are carved from rosewood, an indigenous Kenyan hardwood tree. This wood ensures the high quality of the sculpture and its long-lasting appeal. The artisan usually prefers to carve the kneeling posture since this was a common position for the Maasai warriors. It gave them a wide field of view without attracting attention. It was also considered a resting posture for the young and energetic either on the battlefield or when herding. There are 3 available designs to choose from which are:
  • Old Maasai Man
  • Kneeling Maasai Warrior
  • Maasai Woman

Size: 25W x 62H

Brand Partner Bio

I hail from the carving community of Akamba and I was fortunate enough to be born in the village from which the art of woodcarving originated in Kenya. I learned the art of carving as a young man from my fathers, neighbors, uncles, and peers until I mastered it.

Today, I am a master carver of the Maasai warriors or 'Morans' in their various well-known postures, such as the kneeling position. From time to time, I also carve gigantic animals such as rhinos, elephants, and giraffes. I also make wooden bookends, a manifestation of the inclusion of modernity in a traditional setting.
