African Traditional Game Board / Sculptural Object, Early 20th Century
A beautiful and authentic African game board, hand-carved from a single piece of wood and elevated on a central foot, giving the piece a sculptural presence. The surface consists of multiple carved hollows — a characteristic feature of traditional board games. The board shows visible signs of age and craftsmanship, with natural wear, patina and marks from use, which add depth, soul and historical character.
Today, it stands as both a cultural artefact and a decorative object with a strong visual identity. It works perfectly as a sculptural centerpiece, an art object in a curated display, or as a natural accent in modern, wabi-sabi, bohemian or earthy interiors.
