Hand carved Mayan style black stone carved Plaque , nice carving , back says "RICH MAYAN CHIEF" good condition size 5.75" by 4"
Interesting painted bark piece from the Pacific islands, probably Tonga, Fiji Samoa, or other island in Oceania, 18 3/4" by 26 1/2" (21 1/2" by 32" framed). The bark appears to have been laid on a thin board. This 20th century work was likely brought back to the US in the 1960's by a tourist, as decorative ethnographic art. Note the old San Francisco pre-zip code framer's label. This item would make for a fine addition to your tropical or "Hawaiiana" style interior.
From northern Canada's Inuit native people, comes this 4" by 2 1/4" by 1 1/2" light greenish soapstone carving of what appears to be a tuskless walrus, weighing 7 ounces. There is the official original label in black and white on the bottom, with "Canada Eskimo Art" and an image of a stylized igloo. These carvings are often signed in syllabics or in English lettering but I do not see any such signature on this piece. There are no chips, nor cracks...

A striking hand carved sculpture of a female, likely mid to late 20th century, measuring approximately 17 3/4" in height and 6" in width. When you look at the work, it is easy to see how Picasso, Vlaminck, Derain and Matisse were so influenced by African sculpture. The face and profile of the head are classic; they remind of the haunting, brooding, mysterious, giant stone figures of remote Easter Island in the Pacific.

The work, 24" by 30", is signed at lower right "Monso". The artist, interestingly, painted in a border roughly 2 1/2" on a side, outside the actual landscape imagery. Condition is generally very good, I note a very small puncture in that border area at lower left, which is easy to overlook and which could be easily remedied...
