Large Carved Bust of African Man

About the Item

This is an exceptionally well-carved portrait bust of an African man dating to the mid-20th century. The bust is carved from a single piece of mahogany; the artist has captured the sitter's character. This gentleman came with his bow tie; so we have included it in the photos.
