About the Item

This vintage 20th-century abstract African wooden sculpture is an exquisite example of traditional craftsmanship and artistry. Measuring 20.3 inches (51.5 cm) in height, 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) in length, and 3.3 inches (8.5 cm) in thickness, this piece weighs 1.46 lbs (663 g). Its abstract design and stylized human figure make it a unique and captivating addition to any collection. The sculpture features a carved wooden figure with exaggerated, minimalist features, standing in an artistic pose. One arm is raised above the head, while the other rests on the hip. The base of the sculpture shows signs of wear and instability, and there are small cracks and minor damage to the wood, particularly on one foot, which may be part of the original design. These imperfections enhance the vintage character and authenticity of the piece.
