Vintage 15.5" Hand-Carved African Ebony Sculpture, Water Bearer

A stunning, tall vintage hand-carved sculpture in solid African Ebony. This 15.5-inch piece depicts a woman in a graceful, elongated "skinny" style balancing a traditional water jug on her head—a timeless symbol of life, sustainability, and daily grace in African village culture. Key Details: Subject: An elegant "Water Bearer" figure with a beautifully stylized, minimalist silhouette. Height: Impressive 15.5 inches tall—a perfect statement piece for a shelf, mantel, or Mid-Century Modern decor. Material: Carved from a single piece of genuine, high-density African Ebony (or Ironwood). It features a rich, dark natural patina and is heavy and solid for its size. Design: Intricate carved detailing on the clothing/mid-section contrasts with the smooth, polished limbs. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Solid with no cracks or chips. This is a classic example of traditional folk art that fits perfectly with Boho or MCM aesthetics.
