Metal, Palm

This totem by Mohamed Amine Hamouda was crafted from natural and dyed palm leaves and fibres, woven around a metal structure. A celebration of the rich diversity of palm varieties found in the oases of Gabès, the piece, named after the local term for a young palm tree, reflects the species' different stages of growth.
