Large solid African hardwood bust of Congolese man
A mesmerising and wonderful dark African hardwood carved sculpture of a Congolese man.
His striking, attractive features seem to give a different expression from every angle.
A beautifully carved and shaped very heavy bust of a dense African hardwood with varying tones and shades.
This sculpture is believed to be a number of decades old, quite possibly towards a century old. I’d be very happy to hear from anyone with expertise in African sculpture.
The textures in the beard, hair, eyebrows.. the smoothness of the skin and the angular structure of the bones make this piece so very unique and special a representation of presumably a venerable and respected man.
Eye catching and imposing, a perfect and impressive collectors piece.
Measures approximately 40cm tall X 19cm wide X 19cm deep.
