Recently I had the privilege to purchase a complete and untouched Pittsburgh estate. In this estate I found a very exquisite and important collection of african artifacts which a the former owner spent much of his life building. The former owner prided himself on being a traveler, and which he visited the congo region, ivory coast, and other such areas between the years of 1931, thru 1967. I can proudly assume that all pieces which I will be offering w made prior to 1967, and more likely much earlier. This collection consist of many authentic vintage statues/sculptures, masks, vessels, and more. I will be offering the ebay community a chance to add these items to thier homes. Please understand that I am trying to match up pieces with information which I am finding in journals from the explorations of former owner. I apologize if I make any mistakes, and will be happy to add any new info shared.

All pieces will be started at a very reasonable price, and offered with no reserve.

This piece is very standing about 27" tall, by about 8" from front to back. This piece has a very odd motif, this appears to be a woman with large ears, breast, and stomach. T is some sort of lizard which sits upon the head of this figure. The craftsmanship is amazing and very detailed. The condition is very good with no cracks or damage to the wood. Truely a quality piece, worthy of any collection.
