Ancestral figure
8"H × 4"W · 1.9 lb

Hand-carved wood bust of a woman with braided hair, hoop earrings, and a beaded necklace — a traditional West African motif. Similar busts were historically exchanged as ceremonial gifts between communities, valued as much for the skill of the carver as for the material itself.

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.
