Vintage matched pair of hand-carved wood bust sculptures depicting an African couple, likely dating to the mid-century modern era, circa 1960s-1970s.
These sculptural figures have a beautiful warm wood tone and highly stylized features, with especially detailed carving throughout the woman’s elaborate hairstyle. The clean profiles, elongated forms, natural material, and handcrafted construction give the pair a strong MCM / Afrohemian / bohemian decor look.
The wood appears to be a tropical hardwood, possibly teak, though the exact species and country of origin are unknown. The figures are mounted to simple wood bases with vintage-style slotted flathead screws. They are decorative sculptures only and are not bookends.
Perfect for Afrohemian decor, African-inspired decor, bohemian decor, vintage global decor, mid-century modern interiors, eclectic interiors, or a collected vintage display.
