T is for.../ Macro Monday

T for Tribal
Tribal Voices is the name of a shop in Port Perry. The name above the door is made up of individual carved letters.  I'm not sure why elephants are part of the carving but I am guessing the letters were carved in Indonesia.


Tribal Voices sells a variety of items made in Indonesia such a silver jewellery, teak furniture and home accessories .

    That is quite a sign...haven't seen anything like it. The shop sounds like a lot of fun, too. What did you buy?

    How lovely to see such beautiful work in a shop sign! SO much nicer than neon, or ugly block lettering!

    The sign is a work of art! Elephants are quite common in Asian jungles (smaller than the African elephant) and that's why they're probably in the sign.
