Hand-carved ebony figure with an elongated head and long braided hair, in the style of East African figurative wood carving. Pieces in this style were traditionally carved for ceremonial and ancestral tribute purposes, often kept within a single family for generations before entering the wider market.
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.
