Description
These are a large pair of hand carved African Wooden Figures, unsure of the exact date but certainly have some age and would guess circa 1920s - 1930s.
An unusually large pair of figures that are a little crude in the carving but does add to the charm.
measurements
Each figure stands approx 43 inches high and weights approx 12 kilos each.
