Vintage 10" Hand-Carved African Ebony Wood Figurine w/ Stone

A unique and striking 10-inch vintage hand-carved sculpture in solid African Ebony. This piece depicts a woman balancing a large, faceted stone—a powerful symbol of strength, endurance, and the labor involved in building a home or community. Subject: Stylized female figure carrying a heavy, jagged stone on her head. Material: Carved from a single piece of genuine, high-density African Ebony (or Ironwood). It has a beautiful, dark natural patina and a significant weight for its size. Artistry: Features traditional elongated proportions and intricate textures on the skirt and stone, catching the light perfectly. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wood is solid with no cracks, chips, or repairs. Dimensions: 10 inches tall. This is a rare variation of the "Village Life" series and makes for a meaningful conversation piece in a Mid-Century Modern or global-themed decor.
