Thorn CarvingAf355

Scene from a ritual, possibly Moslem, with eight sitting figures representing people, four of which are with arabic texts surrounding a woman leading an animal by a rope and carrying a chicken in a container. Seven of the sitting figures are wearing conical hats, the eighth of which has a turban with protruding ends, and are wearing long robes. The woman is wearing an upturned four-cornered hat and knee-length dress as she appears to be pregnant. Dispersed among the figures are three pots painted blue at the rims. A blue stained brush lies beside the turbaned figure. This same figure holds an oval object in his lap. The robes, tablets, and animals are light yellow-brown. Human heads, limbs, chicken, pots, and rope for the animal are dark brown. Head gear, basket, and object being held by the turbaned figure are light red-brown. Base is light brown wood.
