Relief Wall Art with Figures

This is a rectangular relief wall art piece featuring a depiction of several figures, likely women, in a stylized African or tribal scene. The piece is rendered in a metallic finish, appearing to be a dark metal with a heavily applied brass or gold leaf patina. The figures are shown in various poses, some standing, some seated, and appear to be engaged in activities suggested by the objects around them, such as round forms that could represent fruit or stones. The background is textured and mottled, creating a sense of depth and age. The overall color palette is dominated by shades of brassy gold and dark brown or black. The relief is quite pronounced, giving the figures a three-dimensional quality. The piece is framed in a simple, narrow frame of a similar metallic tone. There appears to be some minor wear and aging consistent with its apparent age and materials, including potential areas where the patina may be slightly uneven or faded, or where the underlying dark metal shows through. No visible artist's signature, maker's mark, or date is discernible in the image. Based on the visual style and materials, this piece appears to be from the mid to late 20th century, possibly within the mid-century modern aesthetic or inspired by global art traditions. The craftsmanship seems to involve press-forming or casting the figures and background onto a substrate. The unique aspect is the blend of sculptural relief and painted or applied metallic finish.
