Engraving inks and oils on hardboard

Do not mistake the fowl's legs for those of a partridge.

You have to consider a single person or a single object within its own nature. (Benin)

Pentad di li malen, jou mal rive li, ti zb branch mare pye li.

The fowl says she is so sly but in the day of mishap, a twig ties her foot down. (Haiti)

*The word fowl is used in creole to indicate the cunningness.
