This impressive African sculpture depicts a tall hornbill, standing at 60 inches in height. The figure has an oxidized finish, giving it a weathered and aged appearance. Traces of original paint are visible, hinting at the colors and decoration that once adorned this piece, adding a layer of historical intrigue and visual texture. The hornbill, a bird of significant cultural importance to the Senufo people, is characterized by its distinctive long, curved beak. In Senufo cosmology, the hornbill often represents wisdom, longevity, and ancestral spirits.
This hand-carved wooden sculpture captures the bird's form in a stylized manner. The oxidized finish suggests age and exposure, while the remnants of paint offer a glimpse into its past. Beyond its value as a collector's item, this antique African figure can bring a unique and grounding presence to a contemporary home or garden: Its intriguing form and potential history will undoubtedly spark curiosity and discussion. It can add an element of the unexpected when paired with modern furniture and art, creating a globally-inspired aesthetic.
