The piece features a stylised head and neck with decorative carved details, including patterned bands and circular motifs along the body. Remnants of original paint in red, blue, and earthy tones remain across the surface, creating a layered, textured look that highlights the carving. The colours have softened over time, blending with the natural wood beneath. Originally part of a larger element, it has been adapted into a freestanding object, making it easy to display and appreciate as a sculptural piece. Full of character and presence, it works well on a console, shelf, or tabletop, adding warmth and a sense of handcrafted history to a space.
