    Description

    My parents worked in Nairobi for two years in the mid-1980s.  Mother reported that this work was an attempt to find tourist goods for Masai women to create and sell.  It is an impressive Batik, images of Masai women and village life (cows are featured).
    Everyone comments about it, as it has something archetypal about it.
    43" high, 34" wide.  "Autumn" colors, browns and orange. Framed in a neutral color that matches the Batik.
    Come's with Mom's "world's smallest coffee table book"  "My Ears are Ringing".
