African terracotta bust

hi guys

something else i found yesterday, the stamp doesn't fill me with confidence about it, makes me think touristy piece, but wasn't very much and liked the fact it was terracotta

cant find any reference to african wild, so hopefully someone can tell by the look if its touristy or not (doesn't sound great does it )

measures 6 "

any thoughts appreciated

 

thinking about it the S might stand for small which is another bad sign

 

A series of people of the continents? Came in two or three sizes?

 

yeah i think something like that, looks like the remains of a sticker on a pad as well(another bad sign)

think i should have stayed in bed yesterday

 

Maybe it says African Wilderness?
Perhaps a shop in a museum?

 

Never thought of that, thanks inh
Might have to get the old talc out again

 

He looks SO familiar.....but otherwise NO CLUE!!! Although, I LOVE it!!

 

I think it may portray a Khoisan man, one of the indigenous groups of South Africa. (KhoiKhoi, San, formerly known as Bushmen.)
