Title	Contemporary female bust
Description	Ebony wood ; 10 x 4.5 x 5'; This tourist quality female bust is carved of heavy, dark wood, perhaps true ebony. African tourist quality wood carvings are more typically carved from the dense heartwood at the core of several other African trees that have been stained to imitate ebony. This piece is African, but is neither considered traditional, nor as having been made for any ceremonial use. The hairstyle and facial features are very Europeanized'. This scultpure is thought to have come from Kenya or Tanzania because of the fine wood from which it is carved.
