This cubist head sculpture from the 1960s is handcrafted from solid ebony, a material renowned for its deep black hue and subtle brown undertones that emerge where the polished surface catches the light. The piece articulates the mid-century modern and Cubist aesthetics with a striking geometric language: incised almond-shaped eyes, an angular nose set into a rectangular plane, and a simplified arched mouth arranged with intentionally skewed proportions. The upper section is dominated by an expanded, irregular form—evoking either a stylized headdress or a deliberate deformation—infusing the composition with architectural movement. A smooth, glossy finish reveals faint tool marks and the natural grain of ebony, revealing artisanal workmanship. The sculpture stands firmly, while precisely executed joins and details confirm thoughtful craftsmanship. Condition: excellent, with only minimal traces of use typical of carefully preserved vintage objects—no cracks, losses, or repairs. In this piece, one hears the silent narrative of the 1960s avant-garde: a moment when artists sought new ways to portray the human figure. The black, lustrous surfaces and geometric cuts seem to comment
