This floor sculpture depicting an antelope or gazelle, carved in Kenya in the 1950s, is a testament to hand craftsmanship in solid mahogany. The composition features flowing, elongated lines: an upright adult antelope figure surrounded by two smaller calves. The work is defined by consistent stylization, characteristic of 1950s East African folk art with a clear mid-century modern influence. The mahogany showcases a warm, reddish-brown hue with a satiny sheen, highlighting the expressive grain of the wood; the surface is smooth, with minimal tool marks except for the roughly textured base that mimics grassy ground. The sculpture stands 107 cm tall, 45 cm wide, and 34 cm deep, its proportions complemented by expressive, slender horns—one with a broken tip. The seamless transitions between limbs and bodies demonstrate authentic Kenyan craftsmanship. Condition: very good—the surface shows only subtle traces of natural patina and
