Vintage Hand-Carved African Woman Bust ? Solid Wood Sculpture ? 14?

The woman's braided hair is carved with exceptional skill, with the braids suspended above the shoulders, creating a dynamic, lifelike effect. It makes for a bold and beautiful display piece with incredible presence. ? Details: Signed on the base; appears to read C. Morrison Appears to be carved from a solid, extremely dense hardwood Vintage condition: There are a few cracks to one side of the face, but they?ve remained stable during the many years I?ve owned it. In person, the cracks are less visible than they appear in photos. The overall surface and carving remain in excellent shape with no repairs. This sculpture displays beautifully and would make a standout addition to any collection of African art, folk art, or vintage wood carvings. Thanks for looking!
