This lot comprises an assortment of decorative objects. Included is a pair of hand-carved wooden busts representing a male and female figure. Each figure is carved in a stylized manner with elongated facial features, large almond-shaped eyes with defined pupils, and broad noses. The male figure features a beard rendered with vertical parallel incisions. Both wear matching tiered, cylindrical headdresses with geometric faceting. The wood is finished in a high-gloss black stain, with natural wood highlights exposed through the carved details. The male figure’s headdress bears a white rectangular adhesive label with the handwritten characters 501.
Accompanying the carvings is a small faceted clear lead crystal figurine of an owl with black eyes. Also included is a cylindrical sleeve in a grey tone featuring a repeating pattern of stylized scrolls. Vertical text on the sleeve includes a large numeral 2 and portions of words reading SWARO and LVER C.
