This antique tribal sculpture, likely originating from Central Africa and dating to the mid-20th century, is a masterful example of ancestral art. The figure is characterized by its elongated, static posture, simplified facial features, and the powerful suggestion of flowing robes. The dark, worn patina of the wood speaks volumes of its long life and original function as an ancestral spirit figure or protective deity.

Elegantly mounted on a custom black stand, this 15.5-inch tall African carving is an immediate sculptural focal point for a bookshelf, desk, or console, lending a genuine sense of global history and gravitas to any interior space.
