Table With Figurative Supports and Etched Animal Designs, Southern Africa

£1450

Early 20th Century Table With Figurative Supports and Finely Etched Animal Designs. Southern Africa

This low table or stool, finely carved from a single piece of dense, heavy brown wood, features four supports depicting female figures.

The figures' raised arms support the flat circular top, which has been beautifully decorated with four finely etched representations of animals - including, for example, an elephant, a gazelle and a rhinoceros - and cross-shaped circle-and-dot decorations. Each of the supporting female figures have inserted bone eyes.

It is likely that this piece was produced for the early colonial market, and possibly dates back as far as the late 19th Century. The exact origin is unknown but it islikely to derive from either Zimbabwe or, more widely, Southern Africa.

Estimated Period: Early 20th Century (Or Before)
