Experience the extraordinary at Katja Coppola Kalk Bay Gallery, where we proudly present an expertly crafted, authentic antique /vintage African hand-carved wood wall relief plaque, commonly referred to as a "story board". These pieces typically showcase intricate scenes of village life, hunting, or other traditional activities in a dense, detailed style. The style and subject matter are consistent with traditional African, likely West African, wood carving traditions. It is carved from a dense, heavy wood, possibly a type of ebony or ironwood, which is common for such sculptures. The panel is a high-relief carving (alto-relievo), where the figures project significantly from the flat background, giving a strong sense of depth. The scene is a bustling tableau of human figures engaged in various daily activities. L 90cm H 34cm W 3cm
