Thank you and welcome to P-ter for the recent follow ;-)
It's been awhile since I've posted about my travels to Kenya. I do have several more posts before I conclude the series. I thought rather than show you more travels today, I would instead focus on some of my purchases. It was the first time I'd purchased so much at once and I love all my purchases.
 |
| Candlesticks made of ebony wood. I think they are beautiful but I found it difficult to find candles to fit the base. In the end I purchased votive candles and cut down the bottoms to fit. |
 |
| A pair of elephants carved from ebony wood. |
 |
| Soapstone carvings. I love the globe sitting on the base. |
 |
| A game to play. I think it is called "Solitaire" and is like playing checkers except you play yourself. |
 |
| A close up of the game board. |
 |
| Soapstone plate and zebra mask. |
 |
| Same zebra mask and a different soapstone plate. |
 |
| Some calabashes. First time I saw them tinted dark. I purchased these on the highway on the journey from Marigat. |
 |
| A drum. I was told this drum is not actually a Kenyan drum but comes from Tanzania. |
 |
| This drum is a Kenyan drum. |

| Soapstone carving. Map of Mount Longonot and other areas. Click photo to get a better view. |
 |
| Maasai wedding necklace. |
I hope you enjoy the art. Please check out my travel posts on Kenya.
