Dear Christine,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a wooden sculpture with 23 x 6 inches measurements. The sculpture was made by the artist Nelson Morales (Republica Dominicana), has the title Caoba and was made in 1990. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
