Hand-carved wooden standing figure of elongated form, featuring a stylized head with incised facial details and a cylindrical body adorned with geometric carving. The figure holds a circular object at the torso, possibly symbolic or ritual in nature, and displays surface pigmentation in dark brown, ochre, and reddish tones consistent with traditional decorative practices. The carving exhibits a strong vertical presence and abstracted proportions typical of African sculptural traditions, likely intended for cultural, spiritual, or decorative use. An expressive example suitable for collectors of African art, tribal sculpture, or ethnographic objects.

Dimensions: H: 30 in W: 4 in L: 3 in

Condition report: Overall good condition consistent with age and use. Surface wear, minor abrasions, and areas of pigment loss visible. Natural wood checking and patina present. No major cracks or repairs observed.
