This is a carved wooden bust of a male figure, possibly from West Africa, most likely Yoruba or a related cultural tradition. The figure is depicted with a strong, rounded face featuring wide eyes, a pronounced nose, and full lips. The hairstyle is stylized with defined, ridged patterns suggesting short, well-groomed hair. The bust is clothed in a garment that is richly textured and decorated with incised motifs. Notable among these are a large four-petaled floral or star-like design at the center of the chest and smaller star-like patterns dispersed across the surface. A triangular textured panel on the upper chest suggests a stylized depiction of a traditional agbada or robe. The craftsmanship suggests symbolic representation, likely used for ancestral veneration, cultural commemoration, or decorative purposes. The stylized features and abstract patterns are characteristic of traditional African sculpture, emphasizing form and spiritual expression over realism.

HIGHPOLY MODEL INCLUDED

HIGH-POLYGON MODEL

In addition to being optimized for VR, AR, and game development, our models are also available in high-polygon versions—making them excellent base assets for 3D printing.

Our high-poly models come as cleaned, watertight FBX files with all mesh artifacts removed, making them ideal for high-quality physical reproduction.

To 3D print these models, you’ll need to convert the FBX file to STL

format, which is a standard step in the printing workflow. This can be done easily using software like Blender, MeshLab, or Autodesk Meshmixer.

Once converted, the model is ready for slicing and printing with your preferred settings and printer.
