Verdite Busts African Art
This lot comprises three striking verdite busts, each depicting a head and shoulders portrait with distinct cultural adornments. The first bust features a smooth, rounded head atop a green base, while the second and third busts are adorned with feathered headdresses, adding to their regal appearance. One bust is signed “J Mabel’s” and another is signed “Dario’s Chikumbirke”, indicating the artists responsible for these unique pieces. The verdite stone itself exhibits a beautiful green hue, enhancing the visual appeal of the sculptures.

These verdite busts appear to be in good condition, with only minor wear consistent with age and handling.

These sculptures would be a valuable addition to any collection of African art, tribal art, or carved stone sculptures, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Their unique designs and artistic craftsmanship make them desirable pieces for display and appreciation.
