Pair of Minimalist Carved Wood Busts, African, Mid-20th Century - Pair of small hand-carved hardwood busts depicting stylized male and female figures, each with elongated neck and simplified geometric features.

Carvings of this restrained style reflect a modernist influence found in mid-century African artisan work, often created for exhibition or export. Each approx. 5 ½ in. H × 3 ½ in. W × 3 in. D Condition: Minor surface wear and light burnishing to one bust; otherwise very good.
