Carvings

Carving dates back to the remotest ages. Man has always been fascinated with creating figures from just about anything – bronze, metal, wood and even stone. It was recorded that Moses became upset with the Israelites when they carved  themselves an idol made of silver and gold to represent their , this was used in their celebration. North American Indians were known to carve their fish-hook and their pipe stems. Bone carvings were also a popular ornamentation practice by a variety of world cultures, one of which is the Maori Queen of New Zealand and other African tribes.

In the early 20th Century, carving lost some popularity because of the immense skill it required to produce a work of art. This has made this art form quite expensive as it takes a lot of time before an artist is able to produce a carved image. Machine carvings offered a cheaper alternative. However, an art form so beautiful can never really die. Carvings have seen resurgence in recent years. More and more artists are discovering the immense satisfaction of expressing themselves using this art form. The expressions are bolder and more imaginative. The medium more varied. Carvings are enjoying the popular support that it deserves to get from people all over the world.
