About the Item
Exceptional and highly rare Makonde Tree of Life hand-carved sculpture, believed to be crafted from ebony wood. This striking statement piece stands 65 inches tall, with an 11-inch wide base and approximately 5 inches in central width. Works of this scale, material, and craftsmanship are extremely uncommon.
The piece has been privately owned for over 40 years and shows minor chips, small breaks, and surface dings consistent with age and careful long-term ownership. These imperfections are visible only upon close inspection and do not detract from the sculpture’s powerful presence and beauty.
A remarkable example of Makonde artistry, ideal for serious collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a dramatic focal piece.
