About the Item

This beautifully made Mid-Century Carved Female Bust in Ebony Hardwood W/ Herringbone Pattern originates from Kenya, Circa 1960. This sculpture is carved from a single piece of ebony hardwood with a deep and alluring hue and well handled surface. The base is minimally rendered, tapering at the neck of the figure. The facial features are traditionally depicted with minimal angular crescent eyes and geometric features, with a pronounced oval shaped face. Rising from the crest of the figure's head and falling beside is an arrowhead shaped element with stunning herringbone carved linear detailing, perhaps depicting hair or traditional headwear. A gorgeous example of African Art from the 20th Century, this piece will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors.

Hand-Sculpted French Cubist Abstract Sculpture in Terracotta Signed "Philip"

Located in New York, NY

This sophisticated and alluring Mid-Century Modern Sculpture was realized in France circa 1950. Executed in terra cotta with a oil rubbed bronze colored glaze, the work presents an abstract and dynamic form- bristling with verve. An elongated form rises from an elliptical base offering both smooth and curvilinear aspects as well as faceted ones concluding in a curved tongue-like appendage with a pointed end. Additionally, there is what appears to be a lug or nut cantilevering from side of the piece, suggesting metamorphosis or some kind of animatronic influence. The amorphic form recalls the highly stylized renderings of tools by Lee Lozano...
