First, my apologies to the moderators for posting this here; however, I was unable to find a more suitable location for this item.
I am interested in selling a very large and unique piece of African art. It is a beautifully carved African Bushmen head that is 40 inches tall and 18 inches wide at the top of the head. I have never weighed it, but I'm certain that it is well over 100 pounds. I'm guessing that the wood is ebony, but I'm not sure. It was purchased in South Africa during a hunting trip in the mid-1980s. As I recall, the shipping cost from Africa was about $1,000 more than 20 years ago. I've seen a lot of African art and this thing is absolutely top notch. It is a one of a kind masterpiece in perfect condition. The character and detail are terrific.
I am asking $2,500 plus actual shipping costs. I'm only selling it because money is tight and I need to pay for some taxidermy work that is currently being held hostage in Pretoria.
I have additional pictures if you are interested.
Thanks,
Ron
