LOT NUMBER 2
African Carved Wood Figure of a Lady, probably mid C20th
A carved wood figure of a lady in abstract expressionistic style represented kneeling with her legs presumably tucked up behind her, the body smooth and with detailing to the hair which flows down onto her back, the base in the form of a sketchily modelled rock. The colour and patina of the wood suggests ebony and the style seems African - Nigerian, in fact, if the label is to be believed, although the town indicated, Takarodi, seems to be located in Ghana. Dating, though, is probably as the label suggests and this was, no doubt, one of the many pieces made by local craftsmen as tourist souvenirs.| Size: | Ht 26cm (max); Width 10cm (max); Depth 6cm (max) |
| Weight: | 585gm |
| Date: | 1950s |
| Condition: | Good condition, traces of wear to the patina (see image 2). |
| Estimate: | £10 – 20 |
