A hand-crafted wood box from Madagascar, likely for the mid to late 20th century tourist trade, cigar box size, at 8 1/4" by 6 1/4" by 2 1/2" high, the word "Madagascar" spelled out in carefully hand-cut lettering, and the map of the country made of interlocking wood pieces, jigsaw puzzle-style.

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. Size is approximately 12" by 6 1/2" by 3".

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.

A striking hand carved sculpture of a female, likely mid to late 20th century, measuring approximately 17 3/4" in height and 6" in width. When you look at the work, it is easy to see how Picasso, Vlaminck, Derain and Matisse were so influenced by African sculpture. The face and profile of the head are classic; they remind of the haunting, brooding, mysterious, giant stone figures of remote Easter Island in the Pacific.

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.
