Hand-carved African wooden sculpture from 1970-1990, consisting of three interlocking figures that together form a whole. This type of work symbolizes connectedness and is also referred to as a trinity. The individual parts move subtly, but remain balanced and together form a circle.
It is carved from dark wood and is notable for its light weight. Such sculptures were commonly made in East and Central Africa as gifts expressing friendship, marriage or family ties, and could additionally serve as holders for a bowl or dish.
With a height and width of approximately 20 cm, this is a decorative and functional object that demonstrates both symbolism and craftsmanship.
