Hand carved wooden pirogue model, hand painted with a scene of Senegalese village life.
Senegal is located on the west coast of Africa and fish is a staple of Senegalese cuisine. Every day, fishermen put out directly from the beach into the Atlantic Ocean in pirogues, long canoe-like boats with a flat-ended stern where the outboard motor is placed. When the fishermen return, they often sell their catch right on the beach. Senegalese pirogues are hand built by artisans and are painted is bright colors. Pirogues are so embedded in the culture of Senegal that they are a national symbol.
The Pirogue model is styled after a smaller boat that is hand propelled and is pointed on both ends. The interior is beautifully painted with a stylized village scene. The color scheme features red, yellow, and green - the colors of Senegals national flag. The brush strokes are exquisite.
Looking at the painting, I can imagine it coming alive, with me in it. Folk Art
