Tribal Hand Carved Wooden Bust

This is a striking hand-carved wooden head bust, crafted in a bold and stylized tribal form. The figure is rendered with deep-set eyes, pronounced lips, and smooth yet angular facial features, giving it a distinctly modernist-meets-primitive aesthetic. Carved from a single solid piece of wood, the sculpture shows natural wood grain variations and dark streaks that enhance its organic beauty. Its size and presence make it an impressive decorative piece for display in a home, office, or gallery setting.

Dating to the mid-20th century, this piece reflects both folk art traditions and modernist carving styles popular in the 1950s–1970s. It remains in good vintage condition with some expected age wear, surface marks, and natural splits in the wood, which add to its authenticity and character.
