These striking hand-carved wooden tribal ornaments originate from Zimbabwe, dating approximately 1970–2000.

The natural patina, age cracks, and surface wear add character and authenticity, making each piece unique. The taller figure stands around 50–55cm, accompanied by a smaller companion figure, both mounted on wooden bases. Rich in cultural presence, these sculptures are ideal as decorative art objects, collectors’ pieces, or statement interiors, representing late 20th-century Southern African wood carving traditions.
