Item description

Guinean sculpture of Fulani woman bust in hand-carved ebony, 1960s. The Fulani are a nomadic ethnic group in West Africa. The ebony wood carving details the intricate weave depicting the traditional striking hairstyles of the Fulani women of West Africa; details of this hairstyle are depicted in period photographs. It is a rare and beautiful work of art through which the craftsman depicts the beauty of the female form with the exceptional use of the chisel. President John F. Kennedy received a similar bust of a Fulani woman from the Minister of State of the Republic of Mali in 1961, a sculpture that is currently in the JFK Library. The well-thought-out proportions, the attention paid to the smallest details, the overall artistic quality of the composition, and even the aged cracks in the wooden frame are signs of authenticity that make the difference between this decorative work of art and those made today. Please request a custom delivery rate by providing the shipping location.
