An interesting wood carving, likely made as a button. Imagine it as a button on clothing or a bag, and then: "Actually, this is a face." "Oh, how interesting!" → A moment of peace. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, the style suggests it's from the Dan/Gere peoples of the Ivory Coast/Liberia region. The size is perfect, making it suitable for use as a charm, amulet, or strap. This size and expression are rare even among similar folk art pieces. A very charming piece of primitive art. #Materials #Clothing #EthnicArt #EthnicSculpture #TribalArt #TribalArt #AfricanArt #EthnoArt #ObjectOfCurse #Charm #Amulet #FolkReligion #Spirits #Spiritual #Shamanism #AntiqueTools #AntiqueArt #Antique #Vintage #ArtBrut #UsedClothing #HandmadeMaterials
