A striking African wooden object where function and sculpture merge into one powerful form.
Carved from a single piece of hardwood, this piece features a stylized human figure integrated into a geometric locking structure. The visible wear around the openings and sliding channel suggests it once served as part of a traditional locking or securing mechanism—likely for a door or storage chest.
