The listing, African American hand carved bust has ended.
This is a nice handmade piece, thought to be from Africa.
I have no history on this.
It has a lot of mystery.
The discussions by my friends are whether it is a fertility piece, but there is no evidence to suggest that.
It has a strange burnt looking place on the eyebrow that seems to be the way the wood was naturally, or it was burnt before the varnish was applied.
Like I said, it is very mysterious, and there are no markings anywhere, but it is a striking piece!
