Vintage Headhunter Wood Sculpture 38, Mid Century 1960's, Philippines Folk Art

  
Likely made in the Philippines in the 1960's. Great looking piece which displays almost flawlessly.

Headhunter with a knife holding a severed head above him. The base wood has a crack from his foot to the middle of the base. Also a crack on his back. The wood on the fingers is chipped, but is covered by the machete.

The machete is not original to the piece, but is hand carved and closely matches style and color. The loin cloth hangs down and covers his anatomically correct body parts. If you're looking for a mid-century headhunter sculpture... This is about as good as it gets! Let me know if there are any questions. This item is in the category "Art\Art Sculptures".
