Item Description

A captivating hand-carved wooden figurine representing traditional African tribal art, likely originating from the first half of the 20th century. This sculpture features a stylized human figure and child with elongated proportions and finely detailed facial features. It's dark patina suggests both age and extensive handling, potentially indicating ceremonial or ritualistic use. The figure stands upright with hands resting along its sides, and the large, intricately carved feet add stability and presence.

This piece is likely associated with a West or East African tribal group, such as the Dogon of Mali or the Makonde of Tanzania, both renowned for their symbolic and skillful wood carvings. The figurine embodies the essence of traditional African craftsmanship, making it an excellent addition to any collection of ethnographic or tribal art.
