AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sublime tableau featuring a traditional African comb, entirely hand-carved from a wood essence (likely originating from Congo or Mali).
The framing, crafted with care, is also of very high quality. The frame brings a sober and contemporary elegance, while the protective glass perfectly highlights the geometrical motifs finely chiselled as well as the natural reflections of the comb.
Beyond the decorative object, this comb is laden with symbols. In West Africa, and particularly in Mali, it is a powerful emblem of beauty, femininity, purity and love, often given in marital relationships. It unites aesthetics with a strong cultural identity.
Condition: The set (comb and frame) is in excellent condition. One notes barely a few tiny micro-impact marks on the frame, with no impact on its beauty or solidity.
Dimensions :
· Frame : 50 × 39 × 4 cm
· Comb (maximum dimensions) : 19 × 8.5 cm
· Weight : 2.4 kg
