Large Carved African Wooden Chest with Figurative Reliefs – West Africa, 20th Century
Description:
Impressive large carved wooden chest originating from West Africa, most likely Nigeria (Yoruba cultural region).
The chest is entirely hand-carved and decorated on all sides with high-relief figurative scenes, depicting standing figures carrying vessels and ceremonial objects, arranged in a continuous narrative frieze.
The lid and sides are adorned with geometric and symbolic patterns, typical of West African sculptural traditions.
The chest stands on four carved feet and features a hinged lid. The interior is plain and cleanly hollowed, indicating workshop craftsmanship intended for decorative or ceremonial use.
The carving shows a strong rhythmic composition and balanced proportions.
The surface displays a natural, well-aged patina consistent with its age and material.
Material:
Carved solid hardwood (tropical wood)
Origin:
West Africa, likely Nigeria (Yoruba region)
Period:
Second half of the 20th century
Condition:
Good overall condition.
Minor age-related wear, small surface marks and abrasions consistent with use and age.
No active woodworm observed.
The hinges are intact and functional.
Dimensions:
Length: 70 cm
Width: 40 cm
Height: 45 cm
Weight:
29 kg
Remarks:
A powerful and decorative example of African ethnographic art, suitable for collectors of African sculpture, interior decoration, or ethnographic collections.
Careful professional packing will be required due to size and weight.
