Interesting painted bark piece from the Pacific islands, probably Tonga, Fiji Samoa, or other island in Oceania, 18 3/4" by 26 1/2" (21 1/2" by 32" framed). The bark appears to have been laid on a thin board. This 20th century work was likely brought back to the US in the 1960's by a tourist, as decorative ethnographic art. Note the old San Francisco pre-zip code framer's label. This item would make for a fine addition to your tropical or "Hawaiiana" style interior.

Own the art that inspired Picasso and so many other 20th century artists........the sculpture originating in Africa. This is a later 20th century hand-made piece. Note the painted eyebrow area, the drilled rows of holes, and the interesting surface and color. I don't know the area of the continent from which this came but I suppose a specialist collector could tell immediately. It's a very interesting and decorative piece for the home.

On base of handle is carved by hand "MANGO IND PARK". The piece is hand-crafted and the wood shows a beautiful grain in the bowl area. Label has a little wear. Could hold nuts or candies on a table, so, utilitarian as well as decorative--stands upright on its own; well-balanced.
A tall, thin wood carving of a stylized human face, 15" by 3", possessing a great primitive vibe. This is a perfect decorative addition to that thin "problem" wall. I do not know in which part of Africa this may have been created. It is likely mid to late 20th century in age. A thin nylon thread remaining around the top will facilitate your hanging it from a nail or peg.
