About the Item

Sculptural wall-mounted bull head, hand-carved in wood and polychromed in a matte black finish with natural accents on the horns and facial details, circa 1970. Defined by its clean lines and expressive character, the piece captures both strength and simplicity through an almost modernist interpretation of the animal form. Its stylized silhouette and compact volume give it a sculptural presence that exists between Mexican folk art and mid-century decorative design. The surface displays subtle variations and marks inherent to handcrafted work, adding authenticity and material warmth. Designed as a wall object, this piece functions equally as a decorative accent and collectible work, ideal for curated interiors and spaces where objects with character hold a central place.
