Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions 'Jay Jay & Cluck Figurine #37070. One of 4 figurines in Blackshear Jamboree Parade. Carrying a chicken named Cluck, barefoot Jay Jay is happy just being himself. Thomas Blackshear introduced Ebony Visions in April 1995 with the release of the first six Ebony Visions designs, The Storyteller, The Protector, The Nurturer, Siblings, Madonna and Tender Touch. Since then, Thomas Blackshear has created many new designs to add to the Ebony Visions collection. Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions collection is a master work of romantic symbolism. This unique collection of limited edition figurines emphasizes the beauty of the human form and symbolizes universal aspirations and ideals of humankind depicted through images that reflect the unique characteristics of the African American culture.

In a sacred rite of passage, a young man gratefully receives The Storyteller's time-honored walking stick, empowering him to carry on the tradition and retell the stories and moral lessons from the past, linking one generation to another.
