Featured Wood female alien like carving on plaque

Hi all,

Trying to find out more about this wooden piece which caught my eye and i quite like. It seemes to be a sad looking female form with scales on her head.

The carving is mounted onto another wooden board and measures 15 inches by 7 inches approx

Any info or coments on it would be great.

Thank you

 

So weird,and I love weird ! Just guessing here,but I think a homemade object,maybe 1960s .

 

Yea i love wierd too.Its different anyway i think but would love to know if anything similar shows up online.
Dont know what to type into google search to describe what im looking for to see if anything similar shows up.

Thanks Johnny

 

really cool piece that, i love it. looks so smooth and tactile.

wouldn't be surprised if it was by a 'someone'

 

She's very Mid-century home decor. I'd almost bet there was a matching male figure at some point.

 

I don't see scales on her head, I see tightly curled hair.

 

Mermaid? (Though she does seem to have feet) Ondine?

 

Yea could be tightly curled hair too.

I thought scales tho when i saw it first glance

 

sorry , the way the mouth is in a frown....and the body language in a defensive posture....... that's just not a happy gal ...... it speaks of sadness , not joy ....to me anyways...

 

I think she's Eve and Adam is MIA.

 

Thanks Komokwa
She certainly not a happy gal alright but thats what i find somewhat attracive about her.
I think the sadness and posture of her,who ever created it was trying to tell a story of what tho im not sure.
Sure life full of sadness as well as joy dont you think?

 

I wonder if the artist was trying to show a moment in evolution when something morphed into a human.
