Striking and rare vintage African hand-carved wooden dog boat sculpture, approximately 21 inches long.
Features a beautifully stylized boat with a mythical beast head, often referred to as a dog boat. Originating from East Africa, most likely created by the Makonde people of Tanzania or Mozambique, this sculpture is a powerful example of traditional African tribal art. It depicts a guardian beast boat carrying a row of five carved warrior figures, each holding tools or paddles. The figures are individually carved and removable, a hallmark of more intricate Makonde-style carvings.
