Description from the seller
Christmas group – wood carving – Africa, mid-20th century
Professionally shipped — more than 800 five-star reviews worldwide.
Expressive African depiction of the Holy Family, fully hand-carved. Mary and Joseph are depicted in simple, restrained forms around the child Jesus, who is wrapped in cloths. The woodcarver has fully openworked the entire depiction, creating a pronounced openwork effect. The style is sober and expressive, with elongated forms, simplified faces, and a warm wood tone. The tree crown forms a natural framing of the scene.
The image is approximately 20 cm high and is in good, authentic condition with light signs of use and age, including some natural cracks in the wood and traces of previous polishing.
Please look at the photos carefully, they are part of the description.
Shipped with track & trace.
