This is a very unique sculpture, looking like some combination of Witco style and Cubism. It is signed Cortez near the bottom of the front, but I don’t have any more info on them. It is overall 29 tall, consisting of a wood carving sitting on a twisted brass pipe that is mounted to a piece of granite. It weighs 12 lbs. 7.5 oz, with most of the weight due to the base, which is 6.5″ x 6.5″ x 2 3/8. By itself, the wood is a bit under 24″ x 3″ x 3. The wood has light wear with scratches and small chips. The base has a polished top, but the four sides are not polished, and one has a stain. It has some small and tiny chips. The wood is currently at a slight angle. It could probably be straightened by bending the twisted brass pipe. The wood is not fixed to the pipe; it just sits using gravity. It moves back and forth when tapped, so it also qualifies as a piece of kinetic art. The sculpture has a hole through it, which looks like it was part of the wood before it was carved. One of the bends of the brass pipe has a couple of cracks. One of the rubber feet is missing from the bottom.

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.
