This is a striking pair of vintage, hand-carved wooden busts depicting an African man and woman. They feature a smooth, polished finish on the facial features contrasting with detailed texturing on the hair.
Subject: A paired set featuring a male and female figure. The female bust features an intricately carved, braided/cornrow hairstyle, while the male bust has a textured, close-cropped style.
Material: Solid, heavy dark wood (possibly ebony, mahogany, or a stained hardwood). The bases are roughly hewn.
Dimensions: Both figures measure approximately 7.5 to 8 inches tall and roughly 4.5 to 5 inches wide across the shoulders.
Condition: Vintage Pre-owned Condition. They display beautifully from the front. Please note: As is common with solid wood carvings as they age and dry, the male bust has a significant, naturally occurring vertical crack/split running down the back of the head and shoulder.
