Vintage 1960s KENYA African Art LOT 8 wildlife woodcarvings & canvas wallhanging

Description

====================> THIS  IS  A  "NO - RESERVE"  AUCTION !  <=====================
Here's a striking and most interesting collection of mid-century African Art items, all handmade in Kenya, over a half-century ago.
You may wish to know the provenance of these art works:
ALL of these items were found and collected by my late great aunt, during her journalistic travels abroad during the mid 20th-c.
To begin, we have EIGHT (8) lovely pieces of native African wildlife woodcarvings:
- TWO human bust figurines were carved from native African ebony, a hardwood that is very nearly as heavy and dense as steel!
- Plus, SEVEN animal figurines were carved from various other attractive, and most resilient hardwoods native to Kenya.
PLUS, a rather large wallhanging, painted and/or pigmented dye on canvas, depicting a two vibrant mid 20th-c. Kenyan women, adorned in typical native garb, engaged in a scene of typical daily native activity.
This captivating wallhanging looks terrific just as it is, but it is also quite suitable for matting, framing & mounting under glare-proof glass - the latter of which is probably the best way to preserve this fine handcrafted work on canvas from the country of Kenya.
=> Actual dimensions of the canvas painting are:  28-inches W  x  41-inches H
(Please see photos #8 & #10 that show items against a measuring rule, for an accurate idea of size of the carved wooden sculptures.)
=> This order will be *shipped via USPS Economy Mail (3 to 9 business days) unless other arrangements are made before your payment.
=> SPECIAL NOTE TO AUCTION WINNER:
*(If you wish to upgrade to USPS Priority Mail, please let me know beforehand; I'll send you a revised invoice with adjusted shipping fee.)
