Description
Very striking vintage or antique wood carving from Madagascar that looks like it’s probably a Malagasy wood carving. The detail is superb and it clearly has a bit of age to it. It’s signed on the back by A. Ramamonjisoa, Tannanarive and depicts a battle between two tribes. The carving is in quite deep relief and very ornate with a beautiful carved border. There is some damage as it’s clearly quite old, there is a crack running through the back of the carving which shows at the front in the border and the picture but doesn’t detract, there is also a missing bit of spear in one section and another small area of damage to a horn but neither really show unless you’re looking very closely. It’s overall in very good condition. It’s very heavy and had a chain to hang it up consequently. It’s 59 cms wide by 23cms from top to bottom and the depth is 3.5cms. FREE MAINLAND UK DELIVERY
