Description from the seller
Flight to Egypt, wood, Africa, mid-20th century
Professionally shipped – more than 950 five-star reviews worldwide.
This hand-carved wooden sculpture depicts Mary with the Child on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph on foot. It is rendered in a strong African style with angular forms, simplified facial features, and graceful flowing lines. The dark patina gives the piece extra depth and a calm appearance. It is a remarkable work that presents the classical biblical theme in a very distinctive way, with clear local influences.
The statue is carved from a single block of wood. It stands 32 cm tall and is in good condition, with some minor signs of wear.
Please examine the photos carefully, they are part of the description.
Shipped with track & trace.
