Pair of Maasai busts carved in wood from Kenya.
The male figure features an elaborate long hairstyle gathered and sweeping down the back of the head and down the back, while the female figure appears with a bare torso and finely carved short hair. Both figures retain ornamental detailing made with small colored beads.
This type of sculpture is linked to East African production during the 20th century and to representations of men and women of the Maasai people.
