Hand-Carved Wooden Bust of an Indigenous Figure

This hand-carved wooden bust depicts a stylized Indigenous figure, likely inspired by art of Mayan or Mesoamerican rulers. Carved from a single piece of wood, this sculpture features prominent angular facial features with a serene expression and an elongated chin. Rising high above the head is a dramatic, layered headdress that showcases darker variations in the wood's natural grain. The entire sculpture rests on an integrated, rugged wooden block base that further cements its organic, mid-century folk art aesthetic.
