Behold a captivating piece of African artistry, a 41-inch tall figure (measuring 9" x 8" at its base) that exudes a rustic charm born from its very creation. Carved from a single, solid log of wood, this sculpture embodies a primitive style, revealing the direct and unrefined hand of the artisan. The aged finish speaks to the passage of time, hinting at a history imbued within the wood itself.

The form suggests a Senufo Deble figure. Deble are ancestral spirit figures among the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast, often depicted with elongated bodies, rounded heads, and distinctive features, though their exact representation can vary. Carved from a single piece, the continuity of the wood grain likely flows throughout the sculpture, a testament to the carver's skill and connection to the material. The rustic aged finish, with its variations in tone and texture, adds to the figure's authenticity and sense of antiquity.

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.
