Finely carved African Yoruba Divination Bowl Table

$1,195.00
| /

A stunning piece of African heritage, this antique Yoruba divination bowl is notable for its early styling and glossy, deep patina. Dating back to the 19th century or earlier, this piece likely belonged to royalty or members of the nobility. Carved from a single piece of wood, this African artistic table stands at 19 inches high and features a rounded base supporting a central male figure riding an animal, with a female and male figure walking alongside. The wide rim of the bowl is carved in low-relief with repeated triangles and alternating cross-hatching. The carved figures showcase delicate facial features and unique physical proportions, including broad shoulders, short bodies, unnaturally short legs, long, over-sized feet, and long arms with flat, rectangular hands. This spectacular piece of African art can be used as a decorative bowl, stool, or end table to bring a touch of cultural heritage into your home.
