Up for auction is a very fine old African Maternity Fraternal Mother and Child Wood Sculpture. This mask is one of two fine African sculptures being offered in this week’s sale. The estate has had the carvings for several decades so I am confident they both have legitimate age. This example also has an old lead seal as seen, which possibly indicates further provenance or age.
This carving is a beautiful example that has a particularly fine design and intricate carved details throughout. Much finer than later tourist-related examples I have seen. I believe this is a Real pre-tourist example that is possible worth a good amount and Well Worth looking into. I am not exactly sure of the area in Africa this would have been carved so I will leave that up to you to determine. The figure is a great example to display with the figure itself measuring 20 inches tall, by 3 1/2 inches wide. The figure with display stand measures 23 1/2 inches tall. The figure is in very fine estate-fresh condition with no losses and no repairs. I believe Very Few actual authentic antique African carvings of this great quality come up for auction here on eBay.
