Carved Wooden Bust of a Nigerian Man by Felix Ogbe Ozo
About the Item
This beautifully carved bust by Felix Ogbe Ozo is of a Nigerian man wearing a textured sleeveless top with a horn-shaped flask around his neck. His hair is dressed with a large ornament in the traditional suku style of the Yoruba Peoples. The wood is dark brown with honey-coloured whirls showing the mottled grain of the wood. The contrast of colour and finish gives this sculpture a striking appearance. Details are realistically rendered, and the smooth and facetted textures make this piece a delight to handle. The wood has a fine texture, is very dense and is heavy for its size (4.5" x 12" x 21"), weighing ~21 pounds.
This stunning and rare exotic wood sculpture would make a lovely statement piece in any home. Beautifully hand carved, with extraordinary attention to detail and proportion make this wood sculpture a delight to behold.
This incredible vintage sculptural art would make a stunning addition to any decor.
