Pair of Large 76 cm Wooden Warrior Figures with Metal Armour - Morocco (No reserve price)
Origin: Morocco
Period: Mid–Late 20th Century
Dimensions (each): approx. 76 cm (height) × 26 cm (width)
Materials: Hand-carved wood, hand-painted pigments, textile garments, hammered metal sheets (brass/tin alloy)
These two striking handcrafted figures represent traditional Moroccan warriors or guards. Each figure is carved from solid wood and decorated with painted facial details typical of North-African folk craftsmanship. They wear fabric garments and feature hand-hammered metal armour and shields, giving them a highly distinctive and expressive appearance.
The elongated body style and exaggerated facial features are characteristic of rural Moroccan artisan traditions, especially from the High Atlas region and areas known for folk sculpture.
Both pieces show age-consistent wear, including surface patina, minor scratches, and slight irregularities in the metalwork, all of which contribute to their authentic vintage appearance. They are large decorative figures and make a strong visual statement when displayed together.
Condition:
– Good vintage condition
– Aged patina on the metal elements
– Minor wear to the wood and fabric, consistent with age
– No structural damage
