This screen was a commission by a patron wishing to remember a special vacation to Botswana, thus the acacia tree theme. A fish eagle and monitor lizard are worked into the carving design. The panels are shoji style and pivot within the outer frame. The outer frame folds on handmade double hinges. … The screen does disassemble when need arises. The paper is handmade by Angela Follensbee, and incorporates locust pods and leaf matter. It is very interesting. The screen is accompanied by a small display table with a carved leopard reclining on it.

A screen of this type can be custom designed to a theme chosen by a new patron.
