Product description
An expressive hand-carved sculpture originating from the tribal culture of the Sepik region in Papua New Guinea. The depiction of a mother and child in abstract, elongated formal language refers to spiritual and familial protection.
Carved from a single piece of hardwood, the piece exhibits a warm patina with dark pigment residue. An old collector's sticker remains on the bottom, confirming its provenance from an earlier collection.
