Portrait bust
9.3"H × 6.5"W · 3.1 lb
$110
Hand-carved rosewood bust of a woman balancing a tall, ringed basket on her head — a traditional Sahel-region motif representing abundance and the carrying of goods. Comparable works trace back to a mid-20th-century revival of traditional carving techniques, blending older ceremonial forms with pieces made for trade.

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.
