Lot 254: Three African Carved Wooden Items, including a Benin-style Plaque
A group of three carved wooden items, primarily exhibiting characteristics of tribal or folk art, likely of African origin. The first item is a Benin-style carved wooden relief panel, rectangular, crafted from dark brown wood, depicting a central, elaborately dressed human or humanoid figure wearing a headdress and multiple neck rings, holding a sword-like implement and a staff. It is flanked by two smaller figures below and features intricate surface detailing. The second item is a free-standing carved wooden statue of a human figure in a similar style, also wearing a headdress and neck rings, holding an object, with a smaller figure carved at its side. The third item is a large, decorative four-tined wooden fork with a segmented, carved handle. Visible markings include orange stickers displaying numbers “254” and “30,” likely inventory or lot indicators.
