<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4421986, member: 7360"]The idea that he is carrying a nut like the one he is carved from is a wonderful thing to meditate on, I really like it! But unfortunately I think not, the object is quite round, and rather pie-shaped with a grooved upper surface. I think tagua nuts are more smooth and like lumpy kiwi fruits to my eye. I wonder if it would be possible for someone to carve out a figure of someone carving a nut into the shape of someone carving a nut . . .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
