Offered in this lot is a Collection of Handcarved Wood Folk Art, circa mid to late 1900s, including an African Woman wearing earrings, a handcarved wood African lion, and a Taj Mahal handcarved jewelry box. Wood carving has a long history in both Africa and India. Wood carving is a common art form in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the strong trees in the forests make it easy to carve. Before the early 20th century, the Kamba people of Kenya primarily carved objects for medicinal, spiritual, or funerary purposes. After World War I, new techniques for naturalistic figural carving were introduced. Wood carving has been an ancient art form in India, and the Taj Mahal palace is a popular subject of carvings. These pieces are wonderfully crafted displaying beautiful artistry. African woman bust measures 2.5"W x 3.25"L x 7"H, African lion is 1.5"W x 8"L x 2.5"H, and Taj Mahal jewelry box is 4.5"W x 7.75"L x 1 5/8"H. Collective weight is 2lb.
