Your art in all forms are such a joy to look at!
This really feels authentic- my dad and his family spent many years in Africa and brought back all sorts of carvings- this looks like it could fit right at home in my Grandmother's collection.
Have you considered drilling some small holes in the mouth and inserting carved ivory teeth? :)

Ha ha! Those would be some tiny ivories! Thanks for the comments, Growly. I truly appreciate them!

Hahaha oh man, I love this one! That facial expression is fantastic, and the lack of teeth adds so much more to it :D Such a happy little fella!

wow...I wish I had one. @__@
