Hand-carved olive wood portrait bust with a deeply lined, expressive face and ridged headdress — worked in a stylized workshop-carving tradition passed from master to apprentice, with variations in headdress and posture signaling different regional schools. Mounted on a simple faceted base.
Part of a collection bought directly from the carving artists during the original collector's travels — not mass-market inventory. Individual piece records like exact artist and precise origin weren't kept, so the region and material shown here are a general description, not a verified attribution. Pricing is banded to comparable current market listings for this type of piece, not an individual appraisal. Dimensions and weight are approximate.
