Beautiful hand-carved hardwood bust depicting an African woman wearing traditional bead jewellery, elongated ear ornaments and an elaborately braided hairstyle. The sculpture is carved from a single solid block of hardwood and finished with a rich warm patina. The detailed hairstyle, expressive facial features and carefully carved jewellery make this an attractive decorative example of African-inspired craftsmanship. The figure remains in good vintage condition with minor age-related wear and natural drying cracks consistent with solid wood. A striking decorative sculpture for collectors of African art and ethnographic objects.
