Vintage African Hand Carved Wood Head Bust Contrasting Tribal Folk Art Statue

Discover the rugged, authentic beauty of this vintage African tribal head carving! This powerful miniature bust is hand-chiseled from dark hardwood, retaining the raw texture of the carving process which gives it great character. The figure features deeply set eyes and stylized hair, highlighted by a striking contrast where the dark finish reveals the lighter natural wood underneath on the headband and lower face. Mounted on a simple base, this small but mighty sculpture is a perfect piece of genuine folk art to add to any global or eclectic collection.

Fun Fact: Unlike many refined colonial-era carvings, rougher, more chiseled textures are often signs of traditional ritual or personal carvings made for the local community, preserving the energy of the maker's hand!
