Offering two pieces of vintage 1970’s Aboriginal carved wood art from Australia. These two pieces feature male and female wedding figures. The male figure measures 11.5″ in height and 2 1/4″ in width. The female is just a tad shorter and measures 2 in width. The base of the female has an old piece of masking tape on which is written: Australian Aboriginal 1977. Both pieces are fully carved back and front with the individually carved yellow stripes being the natural exposed wood and the darker surface parts being stained. The wood is lightweight not heavy and I have no idea what kind of tree it comes from. No damage other than some natural wear in the wood and aging of the surfaces. Recently, I came across boxes full of baskets and carvings from Africa and Asia and the Pacific Islands and thereabouts.
