Figurine of the head African

someone know what wood is this ? Is very heavy and hard almost like plastic or stone

 

It is a Masai ebony carving. Ebony is a hardwood. Yours looks a bit like coromandel, but ebony can have lighter parts as well.


Coromandel-like ebony countertop (not a solid piece):

 

Thank you !

 

I'd agree with ebony. Today one almost never sees ebony without the white streaks, though in the last century one could obtain ebony that was actually solid black.

 

Sorry mate my English is not perfect can you Tel me what you mean? I don’t ask for age but for kind of wood ?

 

I believe it is ebony. Sometimes people think ebony must be solid black; but often ebony is not solid black, but is dark brown with white streaks.

 

Thank you for understanding me !

 

Just because you ask one question does not mean that we cannot have many answers or comments on your item......
People will offer their thoughts, & maybe you will get more information than you asked for.......
But...it's all good & fun !!!

I can se so many helpfully people in here that why I wish to be part of this

 

Thank you all for help! And one question how you do emoticons? I try but never work ?

 

Emoticons: the easiest way, is when you are making your post, the toolbar right above the message area has a small "smile face"
and if you left-click that, a menu will open showing many possible emoticons;


if you left-click on one of the emoticons it should appear in the message.

 

Thankful to you mate ! Now I can show more whot I mean! I’m really glad for your help!

 

Facebook and the rest is crap compared with you people!!! Sorry for that if I was not to kindly

 

Why i never heard about that forum ? Best I ever been!

 

we're small....and newer.....but good !

 

Yes it is !

 

I feel welcome even with my bad English ! People are so happy to help. This days is something unusual!

 

You're doing fine, don't worry.

This is a wonderful forum. To many of us it is like a second home.
And some of us give a lot of information at times, I am certainly guilty of that, but it is usually useful information. And we love a laugh as well.
