LOT NUMBER 3
Pair of African Wood Figures of a Man and a Woman, probably mid C20th
A pair of wood figures of a man and a woman carved in an abstract style with slender proportions, the man holding a long staff and the woman balancing a vessel (presumably for water or wine) on her head, the clothing of both with etched patterned decoration and their complementary bases with contrasting geometric designs. The patina and colour of the wood suggests ebony and the style is African. As with the previous lot there is a label indicating manufacture in Nigeria and Kaduna is the capital city of Kaduna State, and the former political capital of Northern Nigeria. It was a trade centre and a likely source of artefacts made for tourists of which these are most likely an example. Dating is probably as the label indicates and many other similar pieces were produced at that time.| Size: | Man : Ht 36cm (max) Lady : Ht 37cm (max) |
| Weight: | 665gm |
| Date: | C20th |
| Condition: | Good condition with traces of wear to the patina |
| Estimate: | £20 – 30 |
