About the Item

This captivating diptych—rendered in hand-painted glass—presents a rare and evocative mid-century modern tableau of African figures, executed with both artistic conviction and exotic finesse. One panel depicts a warrior brandishing a spear and shield; the other follows women gracefully balanced with water jugs upon their heads. Subtle micro-flecks of glitter highlight elements such as jugs, shields, and foliage, introducing a playful shimmer that enlivens the bold silhouettes and grounded palette. These panels are framed within bold, black metal grids accented with horizontal brass crossbars and a enjoying atomic-era gold “drizzle” finish—a design deeply reflective of the 1950s fascination with tribal imagery and applied modern form. Each panel measures approximately 16 1/8 inches wide, 0.875 inches deep, and 34.25 inches high, combining to a dynamic vertical presence when installed side by side. Condition is exceptionally preserved. The glass panels remain intact and vividly colored, while the glitter accents continue to catch light gracefully. The metal frames exhibit light tarnishing and minimal surface wear—honest vintage character that enriches this ensemble’s authenticity and narrative. Dimensions: 16.13" Wide x 1" Deep x 34.25" High.
