Hand-Carved African Ebony Wood Bust Sculpture

This is a beautiful hand-carved bust that has been part of a collection for some time. It's crafted from a heavy, dark wood, likely ebony, and features intricate traditional scarification patterns across the face and forehead. The craftsmanship is really detailed, from the textured hair to the serene expression. It's a solid, vintage piece of African art that would make a striking addition to a shelf or mantle. Used, but well-cared for with a lovely natural sheen.
