Help with wooden African style art carving

[Spare tyre]

Found this in my loft

Any ideas?

No use to me, would like to find a new home presumably by eBay etc

Any ideas on it, worthless, 20 years old, hundreds of years old etc

Any keywords I can use to list it?

Many thanks

And the back

Can’t help, but this sort of thing is bloody hard to know if an artisan 1,500 years ago spent 2 weeks making it, or a little factory in back street Thailand is banging out 50 off / wk.

Maybe pop down to your local museum for a chat?

I know it’s at least 30 years old (using man maths / talking to my neighbour)

Worth a read, maybe send them some pics.

The back shows bandsaw marks, so less than 200yo.

No helpful advice, but I quite like that.

I would have said much younger.

I hope I am wrong but it looks like tourist tatt.

Doing a quick Google image search suggests it's worth about £50 on Etsy

Thanks all, will do some leg work

£50, I’d be over the moon with that!
