Wonderful patina and has a depth to the wood that is fantastic.Provenance- Collected by African American Art Collector Richard Cooper through purchase in a gallery in New York in the late 1960s- was sold as 1890s, and the techniques used ceased around the 1920s. Sold on consignment by the Cooper Estate.
