Enhance your home with the rustic elegance of this Vintage Wood Carved Figure. Measuring an impressive 24 inches in height with a 9-inch wide base, this substantial piece appears to be expertly hand-carved from a single solid log, showcasing the natural grain and deep tones of the wood. The figure depicts a woman in a traditional pose, balancing a wide bowl on her head, which is a classic motif in African and global tribal art representing domestic life and grace.
The sculpture stands on an integral round wooden base, providing a sturdy foundation for its tall, slender silhouette. This piece is a fantastic find for collectors of folk art or those looking to add a unique, soulful accent to a mid-century modern or bohemian-styled room. Because it is carved from natural wood, it carries an organic warmth that makes it a standout decorative element on a floor, hearth, or large pedestal.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old, likely dating from the 1960s to 1990s based on similar artisan export pieces. While it appear to be in the very good condition stated, please note that there is a split in the base as well as the back, which is common in solid wood carvings as they age and settle. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
