The carvings around the side include a lion a leopard and an elephant. Let's start at $50. This is the last wood carving from Malawi I'll be putting up.

This is a small, hand carved dark hardwood bowl, again from Zomba Plateau. It's about two inches in diameter and an inch deep. It would make a nice candy dish or ash tray. If you want an African carving, but nothing huge, this is a really nice piece.

$60. More, if Zomba is a misspelling for Zombie

Zomba is not a misspelling for Zomba... however at the Plateau, there's a spot called Chingwe's Hole. Chingwe apparently means rope, as in the rope they used to use to tie up lepers before throwing them in the hole.
Then come rainy season, the waters would carry leper corpses out of the hole and into the river below and then through the town, which is why bother the river and town have the Chichewa name for corpse...
So is that close enough to zombies for a higher bid?
