A rare find, this life size wooden figure is in the manor of pioneering South African sculptor Michael Gagashe Zondi. 

Carved in a highly expressive and somewhat abstract style. The figure stands upright with feet together, and both hands clasped in front of the chest, possibly suggesting a gesture of contemplation, reverence, or supplication.

There are some visible cracks and wear on the surface, especially around the legs and torso, suggesting age or deliberate artistic choices to convey vulnerability and imperfection.

Reclaimed from a Knightsbridge property, the sculpture is likely of African origin, where the focus is often placed on conveying spiritual or emotional resonance rather than strict anatomical accuracy.

Michael Gagashe Zondi, was renowned for his characteristic blend of traditional African carving techniques with modernist expression.
