My wife is active in the local chapter of Grandmothers for Africa, which is associated withe the Stephen Lewis Foundation*. A friend, who travelled recently to Kenya (strictly on donated air miles and her own expenses, not taking any of the raised money out of the charity coffers) brought this ornament back for my wife.
I think it is beautiful and the attached label (4¼ inch by 3¾ inch for scale) explains, what it is.
*For non-Canadians: Stephen Lewis stems from a Canadian family of politicians, was several years ago appointed as UN Ambassador to Africa and remained there after his term was up to alleviate the plight caused by the ravages of AIDS, which left many innocent children orphaned and in the care of their grandmothers. Grandmothers for Africa is trying to support their African peers, saddled with a burden late in life, they did not deserve.
Best,
Olaf
