A hand-carved African hardwood bust depicting a male head. The piece is sculpted from a single block of dense, dark-grained hardwood with a polished dark-brown finish. Detailed features include a textured, tightly-curled hair pattern, a prominent brow, almond-shaped eyes, and a trimmed goatee. A small, knotted orange and yellow cord is tied around the base of the neck. The bust shows traditional tribal characterisation and craftsmanship. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible.
