Puerto Rico Art vintage wood carving of AfroLatina tallado en madera
This wood carving of an “Afroantillana” (Black Latina) is in very good condition, no damage to the wood. The woman’s post earrings, tight-knit hair, and beautifully detailed facial features were carved by a Puerto Rican artisan sometime in the 1980’s or early 1990’s. The artist did not sign it. Bust is 4 3/4 in high (without the base) and 3 1/8 in wide (without the base). Entire carving, including base, is 6 1/4 in high.
