Description
A pair of carved wood bookends from Haiti, circa 1960, each fashioned as a stylized figural head with an elongated crown and softly abstracted features, in the modernist folk-art tradition of mid-century Haitian carving. The dark-stained wood is polished to a warm patina, and each rectangular base is impressed HAITI along the front edge. A striking sculptural pair, equally suited to flanking books or displayed as tabletop sculpture.
