Hand-Carved Tribal Geometric Wooden Vase

This striking hand-carved wooden vase features a bold, angular form with deep geometric incisions that create a hypnotic rhythm of triangles and lines. Carved from solid dark-stained hardwood, the vase’s faceted body is adorned with tribal-inspired motifs in a symmetrical pattern, giving it both depth and dimension. The design draws from mid-century modern aesthetics while maintaining a rustic, handcrafted charm typical of African or South American folk art traditions.

The wood's warm patina and the meticulous carvings suggest it was created in the mid-to-late 20th century, likely between the 1960s and 1980s. It stands approximately 6 inches tall and has a unique 8-sided form with inward-curving panels that accentuate the geometric carvings.

This piece would work beautifully as a standalone accent on a shelf or as a vessel for dried botanicals. It’s a collectible example of carved folk art with high visual impact.
