In Senegal there has been a proliferation recently of paintings on wood representing all aspects of life in that country. Since the Koranic school is such an important aspect of life in Senegal they figure prominently in this form of artistic expression. The phrase in the upper left corner says "God has no children". Under the title it says "God is One - God is Unique - God is God". This sign measures 11 5/8 x 17 5/8" (29.5 x 45 cm). ![]() |
