About the Item

African-Style Wooden Sculpture of a Woman with Ritual Headdress – France, 20th Century Description: This is a sculpture in carved wood, made in France during the 20th century, in the style of traditional African tribal art. It represents the head and bust of a woman, adorned with a ritual headdress rich in geometric patterns and striations. The features of the face are smooth and stylized, evoking serenity and dignity, while the bust is shortened and simplified, enhancing the sculptural impact. The wood patina is remarkable — dark, deep, and silky — giving the piece a strong presence. Main Features: Origin: France, 20th century Style: African-inspired / tribal Materials: Carved solid wood, heavy weight Colors: Dark brown / natural wood patina Size: Medium-to-large decorative object Headdress: Carved with striations and geometric motifs Condition: Excellent patina, sculptural depth, minor age traces consistent with its age Style Usage: This piece can be placed as a decorative sculpture in both design interiors (mid-century modern, brutalist, minimalist) or in a global/ethnic inspired decor. Its symbolic elegance and material richness make it suitable as a focal point on a console, shelf, or low table.
