Vintage Africanist Brass Sculpture, Signed Mukendi, Circa 1970

Vintage Africanist Brass Sculpture, Signed Mukendi, c. 1970

Elegant vintage Africanist sculpture in solid brass, signed Mukendi. The composition depicts two highly stylised elongated human figures — one standing, one seated — rendered in flowing, open forms characteristic of Central African modernist sculpture from the post-colonial period.

The sculpture is mounted on its original wooden base and displays a warm natural patina. The refined abstraction, balanced proportions and sculptural voids give the piece a strong decorative and artistic presence.
