Description from the seller

The Kamba tribe (Kenya) - The most likely origin
The Kamba (or Akamba) from Kenya are known for carving these specific stylized busts for the international export and souvenir trade.
• Features in your photo: The figures have very sharp, symmetrical facial lines, smoothly polished surfaces, and narrow necks supported by small wooden pillars or collar lines. This stylized and somewhat idealized portraiture has been the hallmark of Kamba woodcarvers since the mid-20th century.
Height varies from 18 cm to 30 cm
