Description from the seller


Curated Collector’s Ensemble:
African & World Hand-Carved Wooden Sculptures, Malawi Fish Plaque & Figural Pendant Beads (Mid/Late 20th Century)

A rich, diverse, and highly decorative curated collection of hand-carved wooden artifacts, tribal-style sculptures, and artisanal components, showcasing wonderful craftsmanship and warm natural wood patinas.

​This expansive and harmonious ensemble comprises:
​A detailed carved wooden fish ornament inscribed with "MALAWI", providing a unique geographical and cultural anchor for the set.

​Four striking larger sculptures:
A mother-and-child figure adorned with brass-wire neck detailing, an expressive architectural head/mask with openwork features, a climbing/seated figurative sculpture, and a minimalist contemplative figure.

​A substantial accompanying collection of hand-carved wooden figural beads / pendants (depicting stylized busts with detailed headwear and pre-drilled stringing eyes), offering a wonderful bonus for collectors, restorers, or jewelry designers.

​An exceptional, multifaceted lot offering great visual variety and charm, perfectly suited for lovers of tribal art, worldly interiors, and mid-century artisanal woodwork.
