Vintage Mid-Century Hand Carved Wood Antelope Gazelle Figurine
Vintage Mid-Century Hand-Carved African Hardwood Antelope Figurine
A beautiful, authentic vintage hand-carved figurine of a grazing antelope (gazelle), this piece is a classic example of Kamba (Kenya) woodcarving, featuring the iconic "V-pattern" textured carving along the neck and body. With its sleek lines and minimalist form, it serves as a perfect statement piece for Mid-Century Modern (MCM), Scandi, or Boho-styled interiors.
Rooted in the rich craft tradition of East Africa, Kamba woodcarving is renowned for its expressive animal forms and meticulous hand-finishing. This figurine — with its inset horns and stylised surface carving — exemplifies the genre at its most refined, a piece that carries both decorative presence and genuine ethnographic provenance.
