Description
A striking hand-carved ebony wood bust, crafted by the Mothers Empowerment Group (MEG) in Tanzania. This expressive sculpture features a high-polished finish that accentuates the natural dark tones of the ebony wood, with detailed facial features and elongated elements that reflect traditional African carving techniques. Mounted on a natural wood base, the sculpture retains the raw texture of the tree, creating a visually compelling contrast. The attached label confirms its origin and artisan group, adding to its significance.
