Featured in this lot is this South African Bushman hand carved animal collection. The collection shows three insect figures, five bird figures, and a carved bird spoon. The first two insects are long tubular bugs with wire legs and fire blackened for texture. The last is a spider fetish that is well crafted and shows the likeness of a spider with fire blacked decoration for coloration. There are five different species of birds in this collection. The first is the largest and shows a speckled body with fire blackened coloration. The second shows a rooster hawk on top of the head with a fire darkened belly and speckled wings. The third is an owl figure with fire blackened body and white breasts. The fourth is a shorter, black spotted decoration with the spots shown as fire blackened decoration.
