Artist Abdul Aziz Mohamadu carves this elegant giraffe statuette by hand from sese wood. Trained as a painter, Abdul now also runs his own carving studio and plans to one day open an art academy. The artisan's attention to detail is evident in the graceful curve of the giraffe's neck and its gentle gaze.
