This charming and unique carving depicts a standing police officer, offering a glimpse into colonial-era representation in African art. The figure is hand-carved from light-colored wood, with a smooth finish that highlights the craftsmanship. He is dressed in what appears to be a traditional colonial police uniform, complete with a distinctive pith helmet, a collared shirt with pockets, and short trousers. A dark, possibly leather, strap crosses his chest, adding a touch of realism. The officer's face features subtly carved eyes, nose, and mouth, conveying a stoic or dutiful expression. His hands are placed casually in his pockets, adding a naturalistic pose to the carving. The base of the figure is sturdy, allowing it to stand independently. This type of carving often served as both a decorative item and a representation of social figures in changing times. It makes for a fascinating conversation piece and a unique addition to any collection focusing on African cultural history, colonial artifacts, or folk art.
