Vintage Mid-Century Carved mahogany Wall relief (Madonna & Child) signed in the wood vintage native american jewelry Age: 150 years old +A hand carved and well polished Mahogany wall relief created from a dense select piece of exotic hardwood. The carved relief projects a great sense of dimensionality as it is so deep. The gentle form of a mother cradling her child tenderly is encouraged in part due to the soft smooth lines of the wood. In contrast a sense of deep strength and protection emanates from the dense and hard wood abstract figure. Entire: 12 t x 27 w Sculpture: 10 t x 23 w
