Puppet (2) Maasai tribe - Wood - 1900-2000

A matching pair of handcrafted hardwood figures—a male warrior and a female—depicting the Maasai people of Africa. Carved by indigenous East African artisans, the pieces feature a smoked, antiqued finish; the warrior is equipped with a spear and wooden shield, while the woman reflects traditional tribal styling. They wear hand-painted skirts featuring red-checked giraffe-hide patterns and are adorned with natural seashells and handcrafted seed-bead accessories—a true example of exotic tribal folk art.
