Made of wood, has hair coming off his hand..has a cloth like blanket over shoulders down to his feet..wood carved teeth on ropes hanging on ankles, wrists, and ears.
Got in an estate. It's part of a large collection of what appears to be African artifacts. This is just one piece. Unknown where they were purchased or acquired.
Dear Danielle,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the huge delay with the appraisal
The presented object appears to be a wooden sculpture with unknown measurements. The sculpture depicts a sitting old man and was probably made in Ozeanien or Papua in the second half of the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage 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,
George
