Framed African or Tribal Carved Wooden Staffs/Figures

This item features two carved wooden staffs or elongated figures, possibly resembling stylized human forms or ceremonial implements, presented within a shadow box frame. The overall appearance suggests an African or Oceanic tribal art influence. The staff on the left is predominantly dark, likely black or dark brown wood, with a roughly carved, perhaps abstract, top portion. The lower section of this staff displays painted decoration in vibrant red and green colors, forming organic or tribal patterns on a black background. The staff on the right is similarly elongated and dark but features a more defined, pointed finial at its apex, possibly representing a spearhead or a head. This staff also exhibits extensive red and green painted patterns on its lower half, mirroring those on its companion piece, suggesting they are a pair. Both staffs appear to be crafted from solid wood, showcasing hand-carved details. Their surfaces exhibit a matte finish, with some possible natural wood grain visible beneath the paint and minor signs of wear consistent with age and handling. There are no immediately apparent significant damages such as cracks or chips, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm. The items are mounted against a light-colored, possibly off-white, backing within a deep shadow box frame, which has a gold-toned, perhaps gilded, ornate outer border. The mounting within the box seems secure, preserving the artifacts. The craftsmanship, particularly the carving and hand-painted details, indicates a unique, artisanal piece rather than mass production. The style points towards a cultural origin, likely created in the 20th century.
