A hand-carved dark hardwood bust representing a stylized male head. The sculpture is crafted from a dense, dark wood with a polished black finish throughout. The figure features a prominent, elongated forehead decorated with horizontal incised lines. The facial features include almond-shaped closed eyes, a broad nose, and stylized lips. A light-coloured natural fibre rope is attached, encircling the crown of the head and the chin area, suggestive of a headdress and beard. The piece is mounted on a carved wooden base that is integral to the sculpture. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the object.
