Endangered Rhino 

 

The Rhino is featured on top of this one of a kind carved box.  In Zambia, the Rhino has become a rare animal as they have been hunted and poached to near extinction in the country.

The tradition of carving is passed down from the artist to apprentices who take years to learn the intricate art, and the traditions that go with it.   

The big five wild animals are featured on the sides and top.
