Hand-Carved Malachite Figures
This lot features three hand-carved figures crafted from vibrant green malachite. A central frog is accompanied by two feline figures, possibly originating from the Congo region. The carvings exhibit a folk art style, with simplified forms and a focus on capturing the essence of each animal. The malachite displays beautiful banding and variations in colour, adding to the unique character of each piece.
Condition and Collectibility
These carvings show signs of age and handling, consistent with their likely origin and handmade nature. There are minor surface imperfections and wear, but no significant damage. These pieces would appeal to collectors of African art, ethnographic objects, or natural stone carvings. The vibrant colour and unique craftsmanship make them desirable additions to any collection or decorative display.
