About the Item

Decorative sculpture depicting a stylized couple, crafted from solid wood and finished with a deep black patina with dark brown undertones. The two seated figures, closely linked, exude a strong symbolic presence and great expressiveness. The deliberately naive and geometric treatment of the faces, bodies, and engraved motifs evokes the aesthetics of traditional African art, reinterpreted within a 1960s European decorative context. A powerful and characterful piece, ideal as a collector's sculpture or a striking decorative element.
