Striking vintage hand-carved wooden figure acquired in Africa by its previous owner. Standing approximately 20 inches tall to the highest point of the headdress, this dramatic sculpture features an elongated seated form, tall pointed coiffure, stylized facial features, intricate geometric carvings, wooden bead earrings, and a rich red fiber adornment around the neck.
The seated posture, elongated proportions, crested headdress, and carved markings show strong similarities to the figural traditions of the Senufo people of Côte d’Ivoire and neighboring areas of West Africa. The specific artist and village of origin are unknown.
The dark finish shows natural surface rubbing, small marks, and areas of color loss consistent with the figure’s age and journey. A beautifully expressive piece of African folk art with wonderful presence and character.
