Late 19th Century Kenyan Carved Ancestral Female Figure

Late 19th Century Kenyan Carved Ancestral Female Figure

Late 19th century Kenyan carved ancestral female figure, on later stand.

Interestingly, the head is completely free from woodworm.

Parts of the body, well eaten over the years.

Timber’s in one piece can vary.

Sapwood is always devoured by woodworms, the harder grain is usually untouched.

Possibly a fertile blessing given to a woman, showing the beauty of an African female figure, ready to bear children.

A rare and unusual late 18th Century English green and white tulip adorned pottery jug - AA2179a

A rare and unusual late 18th Century English green and white tulip adorned pottery jug – AA2179a

A rare and unusual late 18th Century English green and white tulip adorned potery jug. (A.F.) I sold this jug on consignment a few years ago and have just traded with another jug I have for sale. Buying, Selling and Trading is all part of the business. Makes life interesting…

My customer that has enjoyed the jug the past few years has drawn this. Beautiful, thanks Elizabeth.
