Female Bust

Female Bust

Carved African female bust. African ebony hardwood. It seems that the artist has done a very professional job of using the heartwood for the bust of the woman and the rest of the wood for the border around her. Please do your own research as I am not familiar with all the ins-and-outs of African carving. No repairs visible. Excellent condition. $400. Size: 9″ H x 5″ W x 3.75″ D. Wt: 3.0 lb. 1.4 kg.

One of them has a child clinging to her leg. Another is with child.  Each is carrying something on their heads and each has a small sack or satchel. Please do your own research as I am not familiar with all the ins-and-outs of African carving. Very good condition. Some sign of repairs – one to the neck of one figure.  The other could be the artist filling in a knot hole. They are on small, steel plates so that they stand up properly. Excellent condition. $500.
