<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 436698, member: 8267&quot;]I think it may be a fairly contemporary Makonde (Tanzania) carving, portraying a Shetani (bush spirit). Their style uses those elongated, openwork, grotesque features. Most of the work I have seen is in ebony, which is a 2-tone, very heavy wood. But I am seeing some in my internet search done in a lighter wood as well, such as yours.</p><p><img src="http://www.makonde-museum.de/media/Im10-Mpiuka1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.makonde-museum.de/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.makonde-museum.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.makonde-museum.de/</a></p><p><img src="http://steel-art.co.za/zulu-azania/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ANI-4-15-200x200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://steel-art.co.za/zulu-azania/product/makonde-shetani-bush-spirit-2/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://steel-art.co.za/zulu-azania/product/makonde-shetani-bush-spirit-2/" rel="nofollow">http://steel-art.co.za/zulu-azania/product/makonde-shetani-bush-spirit-2/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
