Beautiful carved wooden head of a man, a handcrafted piece from the second half of the 20th century, circa 1950s, in a modernist and ethnic, brutalist style, possibly originating from a sculpture workshop or school. The face, with its simple, geometric features, is accentuated by a long, cylindrical neck and a beautiful dark brown patina that reveals the natural wood grain. An inscription under the base, likely the date of creation 2.7.51, and a more recent inventory entry in ballpoint pen.
Height 21.5 cm, width 13 cm, depth 12 cm. In very good overall condition with a few discreet signs of age and a fine, natural shrinkage crack on the back, running from the neck to the top of the skull, without any signs of weakness. Approximately 1 kg.
