Ebony wood carvings from Tanzania

Graceful carvings from ebony wood over 3000 years old have been found in Egyptian tombs. Ebony is a rich and sensuous wood that was sought after by royalty of Persia and India for scepters, sculptures and drinking cups. The dense fine grain of Tanzanian ebony is regarded as superior to that from other sources and finishes to a more lustrous surface.
