Buyer's Premium:

A hand-carved sculpture of an African male head, fashioned from a single piece of dense, dark hardwood with a polished finish. The figure is depicted with stylized facial features including heavy-lidded eyes, a broad nose, and full lips. The head features a textured hairstyle composed of fine, incised linear patterns that converge at a small carved topknot. Around the base of the neck is a multi-strand beaded necklace featuring small red, blue, and purple seed beads. The carving sits on a flat, integrated base. No maker marks, labels, or signatures are present on the visible surfaces of the object.
