Gavel in wood

This is another of my mother's things that I really love, it is a gavel in wood. She made it from a branch of a tree here where she lived., all in one piece carved from the wood!

She made another one too, but that is used today by some lucky  chariman.
This one is formed after a horse head, with the ears and all. Isn't wounderful?

Praying

My mother Gunvor did -as I told you before - some religious work during her active years. Now she is gone but I always will remember her - like this - thru her work.

This is a nun praying, a really wounderful piece, carved in wood that she found here in the countryside where she used to live.

And this is another carved piece of wood, I see it like the face of Christ. This one is not completed, it had to be refined, but I like it as it is really.
