Description from the seller

Flight to Egypt, wood, Africa, mid-20th century.

Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.

This handcrafted wooden depiction shows Mary with the Child on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph on foot. The entire piece is executed in a powerful African style with angular shapes, simplified facial features, and beautiful flowing lines. The dark patina adds extra depth and a calm appearance to the sculpture. It is a special piece that presents the classic biblical theme in a very unique way, with clear local influences.

The sculpture is carved from a single block of wood. It measures 32 cm in height and is in good condition, with some minor signs of use.

Please look at the photos carefully, they are part of the description.

Shipped with track & trace.
