Large Vintage Hand Carved African Wooden Bird Sculpture Folk Art

A striking and unusually large hand-carved African wooden sculpture depicting two birds perched protectively above their nest, with a pair of tigers resting below. Rich in symbolism and craftsmanship, the piece creates a dramatic and eye-catching display from every angle.
 
Carved from solid wood and finished with hand-painted details, the sculpture features warm natural tones contrasted by darker carved wings and red beaks and feet. The composition gives the impression of the birds guarding their eggs while the tigers watch from beneath the tree.
 
Its substantial size makes it a true statement piece, ideal for a sideboard, console table, or floor.
 
A distinctive piece of African folk art and a wonderful addition to collections of tribal art, hand-carved wooden sculptures, or unique decorative objects.
 
I also have some other similar African bird sculptures available in separate listings (pictured).
