About the Item

SPECIFICATIONS - Dimensions: 53”H x 9”W X 2"D (1980's) - Material: Genuine African Ebony Wood - Construction: 100% Handmade / Carved from Mpingo Black Wood Bark - This is "NOT" self supporting and best to be leaned against a wall or surface as shown in images. Discover a unique piece of African artistry with this exceptional antique Makonde Tree of Life plaque, intricately carved from a large, flat plank of Ebony black wood. Unlike typical Makonde sculptures, this masterpiece boasts a highly complex and three-dimensional design, meticulously carved into the bark to create a captivating figure that seems to come alive from the surface. Made from the revered Mpingo tree, which reaches maturity at over 100 years old, this exquisite piece not only showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Makonde people but also embodies a rich history, making it a true collectible and a stunning addition to any art collection. PLEASE NOTE: Imperfections are to be expected due to aging and wood material. These include slight cracks, breaks and signs of aging. SHIPPING AND RETURNS Please allow 5 business days to process/pack each order. Order will be shipped via UPS ground or LTL based on package safety. Returns are accepted within our 14 days window.
