African tapestries, paintings, batiks, reliefs and carvings often depict familiar African scenes. No matter if it’s woven, pounded, etched or painted, the African artist will use various mediums to portray animals, surrounding plant life, important land formations, tribal symbols and kinsmen to help relate everyday village life to the on looker. The artist in this case utilized a thin copper plate and skillfully pounded one of the most highly regarded animals in Africa, the African elephant. Beloved all over the continent, the elephant is symbolic of intelligence, strength and great fortune. The sky and other parts of this selection has been colorized to heighten the visual effect.
