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.

Measures : 23.5 cm x 7cm. = 9.5″ x 2.75″ x 2.5 inches. Balinese Pita Maha Art Deco sculptures are highly collectable. Balinese Pita Maha sculptures are highly collectible due to their unique fusion of traditional Balinese craftsmanship and the early 20th-century Art Deco style. Originating from the Pita Maha artists’ collective, established in the 1930s under the guidance of European artists like Rudolf Bonnet and Walter Spies, these sculptures embody deeply spiritual aesthetic. They reflect Balinese mythology, culture, and everyday life, blending intricate carving techniques with streamlined, geometric forms typical of Art Deco. Today, these pieces are prized for their historical significance and artistic innovation. For more than four decades, I have dedicated myself to the discovery and preservation of tribal art with a focus on shamanic traditions of healing and divination. My collection spans cultures and regions where art serves not only as expression, but as a bridge between the material and the spiritual. Each piece embodies ritual, protection, and transformation – testaments to humanity’s enduring search for connection with the unseen. This lifelong journey has been guided by respect for the artists, the communities they come from, and the sacred knowledge their works convey. The collection continues to evolve as a living archive of spiritual craftsmanship and human belief. S it mostly takes. 4 to 10 days. Collecting tribal art is my passion, food for the soul, I have been collecting tribal art and antiques for well over 25 years, my collecting trips have taken me to many distant countries, the artifacts of interest are authentic tribal and ethnographic implements used in divination and healing. My travels have taken me to out of the way places where there are no cars or hotels, some of the remote places are only reachable by foot, so I often take long treks into the bush to find some of these rare pieces, but mostly its a question of being in the right place at the right time, my collection consists of ethnographic material from animist tribal peoples of Africa, Asia and south east Asia.

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.

I wish I could tell you more about this. All I know is that the hand and the propeller are hand carved wood painted with a gold tone finish. The a-bomb is made out of some type of old foam that was also painted. The hand and the propeller are in great shape. The foam is old and crackling but still holding together. It’s mostly just the surface that’s got a bunch of cracks and some missing pieces on the front as you can see. The shape of the a-bomb is still intact. Made towards the end of world war II as a message to the Axis forces. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to explain what the message says considering it states it pretty clearly in the sculpture itself. Unfortunately I do not have any idea who made it or where it was made. A friend of mine said it reminded them of the flying fickle finger of fate the old TV show laughin but if you look up pictures of that object it is completely different. This is definitely not the flying fickle finger.
