Original Makonde Tree of Life Tribal Sculpture / Statue. African Family Tree Hand-carved from 1 whole piece of Black / Ironwood. Rare Hand-Carved Folk Art of Tanzania. Traditional Wooden Statue from East Africa.

The Makonde are an ethnic group from Tanzania and northern Mozambique. Their Tree of Life sculptures were especially sought after in the 1950s and 60s. The sculptures represent the family unit and are essentially family trees. They depict family members from past and present holding each other up and growing taller and stronger through mutual support. An exceptional example of Makonde artistry.

This is a unique African Intricately Carved Ebony Family Tree of Life from the Makonde Tribe from Tanzania. The carvings typically include a column of people. They commonly depict members of extended family often representing multiple generations. People are often depicted climbing or holding each other up representing support, as well as people showing and performing traditional tasks and local work such as cooking or farming. This wonderful piece would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.

Excellent vintage condition.

Sort of good for tough chewers??
Color: Deep Roots Carrot - Small, Size: Small Dog
The actual carrot part (orange part) is tough chewer approved and my dog loves. It’s basically the same shape and size as his kong. However the leaves (green part) is not tough chewer approved. He ripped ALL those leaves off and ate them within 5 minutes of me giving him the toy. However they passed through him fine.

Pretty hard to clean
Color: Cinamutt Roll - Large, Size: Large
We've had this for about a week now. I have 2 dogs, one small one about 55lb. I bought this for my big girl, but lil man is determined to get the best of this toy. Usually they don't both go after the same toys, so this is interesting. The trouble is, neither one of them can get all the treats out if something makes it all the way down into the crevice. It's surprisingly deep. The up side is that they'll try for quite a while before giving up. The down side is even if you put it in the top rack of the dishwasher, something stuck deep in there isn't going anywhere until you dig it out yourself. I tried a plastic knife but it broke the second time I used it in there. I wound up using the metal handle of a reusable straw cleaner. Which then I had to wash that, too. Then it needs to dry overnight before it can be used again. All in all, the dogs like it fine, it's gross to scrape out and wash, takes longer than most toys to dry, and I have the feeling that will eventually cause me to pass it to someone else's dog long before my two have gotten tired of it. At this point I'm pulling out of the toy rotation for a week or two because I'm not ready to clean it a third time.
