Beautiful vintage hand-carved African folk art sculpture, sourced from a Charleston estate. This mid-century piece is carved from a single block of wood and features a detailed village scene with two figures, a donkey, and a large palm tree canopy overhead. The carving shows the hallmark chisel work and organic shaping commonly seen in 1950s-1970s African export carvings-likely produced in a Makonde or West African carving workshop. Warm reddish-brown stain, deep tooling marks, and a smooth aged patina add character and authenticity. The underside shows tool marks consistent with hand work, and the piece has wonderful shelf presence. Vintage pre-owned condition. Natural imperfections from hand carving. Minor surface wear consistent with age. No breaks or major damage. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description. Hand-carved from a single piece of wood. Mid-century African folk art. Depicts village figures, donkey, and palm tree. Rich reddish patina. Great decorative piece for global, boho, or rustic interiors.
