Also reminiscent of Picasso, Miro, cubist, angular, has a somewhat tribal feel, possibly African or Ethiopian influence. This piece was hung on the wall in our home.
Unsigned, and I am not sure where my Dad purchased it. It was in our home since approximately mid 1950s.

The measurements are approximate, due to the irregular shape and forms of this piece. See photos with ruler for clarification.

There are some scratches and ‘blemishes on the finish. See detail photos. It is a matte black finish. There is a hole on back side of neck to accommodate a screw or hook for hanging on a wall.

The 6th and 8th photos are of the reverse side of the sculpture. Looks like the remains of two silver tape marks on lower portion of the back side of the piece.

I have seen other examples of similar works, but not this exact unique design. less
