This is one of a couple of wood carvings done by Mr. Nompson, a resident artist in one of the less attended markets near Negril Jamaica. On the bottom, notice the dark core surrounded by lighter colored wood . . . also around the neck and up into the braid section. This wood is the dense Guango (aka cow tamarind).
Great condition. Acquired in 1990 when I met the artist. No stands are included. 11″ tall x 3″ at the widest point. .
