Sculpture crocodile Awalé in wood - African art craftsmanship (74 cm)

"Superb decorative and play piece: this traditional Awalé has been entirely hand-carved from a solid piece of wood. Shaped like a crocodile, a symbol of strength and wisdom, this 74 cm sculpture commands attention with its presence and the intricacy of its details (scales, carved head). More than just a simple collectible, it is an ancestral game (mancala) that will find its place on a Scandinavian sideboard or a coffee table, adding a touch of authenticity and chic exoticism to your interior. The Grand Awalé Crocodile: Unusual dimensions: 74 cm long. Width when unfolded 30 cm. Material: Solid wood weighing 2 kg. System: The back opens on hinges to reveal the 12 game cavities. The Seeds (48 Elements): The game is complete. It includes 43 natural seeds complemented by 5 selected nuts. I have added a charming little matching wooden box to neatly store all the seeds and nuts (visible in the photo)."
