Vintage African Hand Carved Ebony Wood Bust Sculpture Two-Tone Grain 5.5\" For Sale

Up for sale is a striking, mid-century vintage African tribal bust hand-carved out of a single piece of genuine ebony wood.
Standing 5 1/2 inches tall, this sculpture features a stunning two-tone aesthetic. It showcases the deep, pitch-black heartwood of the ebony tree beautifully blended with warm, caramel-brown streaks of the outer sapwood. The smooth surfaces along the neck and shoulders have been brought to a beautiful, silky natural high-polish sheen that catches the light perfectly.
The portrait captures remarkable artisan craftsmanship, displaying deeply incised geometric tribal scarification markings on the face alongside a meticulously textured hairstyle. The flat cross-cut base retains its original raw grain and hand-tool marks, proving its authentic, hand-made provenance.
Despite its compact height, it weighs a hefty 7.05 ounces on a digital scale—a clear validation of true, high-density premium hardwood.
A timeless shelf accent, paperweight, or standout addition for collectors of global mid-century artifact decor.
