History
This appears to be a hand-carved stone bust representing a tribal figure, likely African in origin. The exaggerated facial features and expressive style are characteristic of traditional African sculptural art that often served ceremonial or spiritual purposes. Such tribal art pieces are valued by collectors of ethnographic art, interior designers, and cultural art enthusiasts. The distinctive expressionist style and cultural significance make it appealing to those interested in non-Western art traditions and those who appreciate the raw, emotive qualities of tribal sculptures.
