Vintage Lot of Five HAND CARVED Wooden African Art~ Folk Art~ Tribal Figurines
This is a lot of five hand carved/whittled wooden tribal figurines. These came from a collectors estate so I am not familiar with the history. Each piece is hand carved. From what I can tell The body is one solid piece, then the head, arms, and whatever they are holding is carved separately and added to the body with a type of wood glue. Considering each piece is between 2 to 3¼" tall some of these added pieces are quite small but still with excellent detail. The only ones that appear to be one solid piece are the smaller ones with large bellies. I will attempt to describe the piece with the dimensions. In the pictures are individual pictures of each character from all sides. The lighter one piece figurine with the large pot belly measures 1¾" tall x 1" wide x 1" deep. The darker one piece figurine with the large pot belly measures 2" tall x 1" wide x 1" deep. The figurine holding the basket of sticks measures 3" tall x 1" wide x 1" deep. The figurine with just the drum measures 3" tall x 1¼" wide x ¾" deep. Finally the figurine with the drum and beater measures 3" tall x 1½" wide x 1" deep. I am not sure if there is a type of stain or dye on them or if it's different types of wood. There are very distinctive differences between not only the individual pieces, but for example, the clothing has a red tint and the skin is a more brown. I took a ton of pictures from every side. Please refer to them as they are a big part of the description since I do not have a good history on these pieces. Hand Carved, tribal art, folk art, one of a kind, all of the above... the details are great. They are definitely a great addition to any collection, for display or simply as decor.
