Pair of Vintage Hand-Carved African Hardwood Busts (33cm & 29cm)
A striking vintage pair of hand-carved African hardwood busts, featuring both male and female portrait figures. Carved from dense, rich timber with a smooth warm finish that showcases the natural wood grain.
• Female Bust: Features traditional raised braided cornrow hairstyle and elegant contours (approx. 29 cm height).
• Male Bust: Features detailed facial scarification marks, a shaped beard, and clean-cut profile lines (approx. 33 cm height).
Both pieces are solid, heavy, and freestanding with strong visual impact—ideal for mid-century interior design, boho styling, or art collections. In good vintage condition throughout with light age-related wear to the wood finish.
