African Wooden Mortar Sculpture Carved As A Head

Primitive Carved African Art Sculpture - Wonderfully carved design of a mans face, ears and hair around a mortar. Turn the mortar over, you will find the wood hollowed out and would have been used to hull grain. Superb details of the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hair. Down to the scarification marks used to mark milestones on their faces. Such an unusual piece of decorative art on a once useful implement once used on a daily basis. Period: Early 20th Century Material: Wood
