Ancestral figure
14"H × 4.8"W · 2.8 lb
$185
Hand-carved wood ancestral totem, with a headdressed figure atop a pierced column of interlocking figures on a round base — a traditional Southern African motif representing family lineage. This form echoes a long-standing regional tradition of figurative carving, historically used in ritual and storytelling contexts rather than purely decorative display.

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.
