For wood lovers, this Yoruba man is carving a calabash, an essential multi use bowl for storing and carrying water and food. Oyo is a state in south western Nigeria.
 

Or maybe you'd prefer something less useful but that would look really nice displayed on a glass shelf like this delicate early 15th C porcelain container from China.

Sunday Stamps II - 72

1953, Nigeria Tin Mining
engraved

Tin is still mined in the Jos Plateau, which is in the middle of the country, but it has been severely diminished since the discovery of oil. Up until 1960, Jos Plateau was the sixth largest producer of tin in the world. Much of it comes from the River Dilimi and Jos City was given the nickname 'Tin City'. This stamp shows a man panning for tin in the river.
