Beautiful Vintage Taíno-Style Hand-Carved Wooden Totem Figurative Sculpture (12”)
Up for sale is a stunning, mid-to-late 20th-century tribal folk art wood carving inspired by traditional Caribbean Taíno indigenous culture. This stylized figurine captures the aesthetic of a classic Zemi (deity/spirit totem), featuring a geometric crown, deep circular eyes, and a classic squatting or thinking posture.The craftsmanship beautifully highlights the highly variegated, two-tone natural wood grain, showing off deep chocolate browns contrasted against warm honey-caramel tones. It has a great weight and a smooth, polished finish that makes it an excellent statement piece for any shelf, mantle, or art collection.
There are some scratches as pictured and a crack on the base but the crack does not go all the way through and it is not noticeable unless looking close up at it. There is no visible artist signature on the base, showing it is an authentic, anonymous piece of artisan folk art. Natural variations in the wood grain are present as pictured. Perfect for collectors of primitive art, Tiki decor, Afro-Caribbean folk art, or unique tropical boho home accents.Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the visual description. Ships promptly and securely packaged. Smoke free and pet free home.
