Extremely rare. A carving like this is very hard to "get home" from Africa. This large piece is hand carved from a single log. I personally bought this in Zimbabwe during a long strange trip buying African art.
Shipping such a piece will be expensive due to size. To ship requires 3 heavy duty boxes from Home depot$18.Size of box 32 lbs, 64" x 18" x 18". Welcome to arrange own shipping.
Or i can take it to a shipper of your choice, for them to properly package and insure - you arrange and pay the shipper.

The black is burned on. The carvers place several sharp steel rods in the fire, pull one out and burn on features, then replace and repeat. they have no paint.Zimbabwe Giraffes are, by far, the best. The Shona artist captures the peace and humor of a Giraffe.
I personally bought this Giraffe in 2002 in Zimbabwe from the carver. Shipped home a container of similar art in 2003.
