Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Wall Hanging – African-Inspired Face with One-Piece C

Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Wall Hanging – African-Inspired Face with One-Piece Chain Link – 21” x 7.5” This striking vintage wall sculpture features a hand-carved wooden face at the top with an elongated interlocked chain and loop design carved from a single piece of wood. The artistry demonstrates a traditional “trick carving” skill where links are released from the wood block without cuts or joins. Likely produced in the mid-20th century for the African tourist art market, the design is **African-inspired folk art**, not a ceremonial mask. Its bold lines, stylized facial features, and dramatic carved chain make it a unique conversation piece and a statement for boho, rustic, or eclectic interiors. * Material: Solid carved wood * Design: Stylized carved face with interlocked chain links and loop * Dimensions: Approx. 21” tall x 7.5” wide * Construction: Carved from a single block of wood (face, links, and loop are continuous) * Hanging: Small hole at the top for wall mounting * Age: Estimated mid- to late-20th century (1960s–1980s) * Condition: Vintage, very good – natural wood variations and light wear consistent with age
