Pair Hand-Carved Youth Bust Plaques on Ebony Wall Mounts
Elegant matched pair of wall plaques, each featuring a finely hand-carved bust of an African boy and girl in left-facing profile. The soft, creamy material is sculpted in high relief, capturing subtle facial planes, full lips, and distinctive hair textures—tight coifs for the boy, delicately ribbed braids for the girl. Every figure is set slightly proud of a solid ebony-stained hardwood panel, creating dramatic light-and-shadow contrast. Discreet D-ring hardware on the reverse allows immediate, level hanging. Mid-century in spirit yet timeless in appeal, this lightweight diptych adds sculptural depth to a bookcase, gallery wall, or modern vignette—ideal for collectors of African art or refined MCM accents.
Condition
Good overall—no cracks, chips, or repairs to either carving. Ebony backboards show only minor handling scuffs; hanging hardware secure and functional.
