I purchased the Left size Baga Nimba carving and I’m impressed by the craftsmanship. The wood feels solid and well-aged, with intricate details that show the artisan’s skill. It’s smaller than I expected but fits perfectly on my shelf. While not cheap, the cultural significance and quality justify the price. Displaying it brings an authentic African vibe to my space. Pete Alonso would probably love this kind of cultural artifact.
