Description :

Hand-Carved African Wooden Figures – Male and Female Pair

This striking pair of hand-carved wooden figures captures traditional African village life through elegant form and symbolic posture. One figure, a male, is shown standing tall and dignified, holding a rectangular object at waist level—likely representing tools, offerings, or agricultural goods. The female figure stands in graceful balance, carrying a bundle on her head, a timeless image representing the strength and role of women in daily life and sustenance.

Both figures are carved from richly toned hardwood with minimalist yet expressive detail. The bare feet and textured oval bases ground each figure in realism while celebrating ancestral roots and cultural identity.

Measurements:
Male: 8.5" tall
Female: 9" tall

These pieces reflect the artistry and storytelling found in African folk sculpture, embodying respect for labor, family, and community.
