A Collection of Carved and Turned Treen Items - A collection of decorative treen comprising carved wooden figures and turned wooden wares. The group features two dark-stained busts in the African style, one depicting a male figure with a textured coiffure and the second a smaller simplified head. An abstract elongated carving of a seated figure with hands to the chin is included, alongside a small figural group with white dot-inlay decoration. Further carvings include an Asian figure wearing a traditional conical hat, a naturalistic walking elephant, and two small animal carvings. The turned wares comprise a light-coloured wooden bowl containing carved wooden fruit including apples, pears, a banana, and a bunch of dark-stained grapes. Additional items include a cylindrical lidded jar, a shallow wide-rimmed bowl, a circular plate or coaster, and three turned wooden spools, one of which retains a quantity of black thread. The pieces are finished in a variety of natural and stained tones. There are no visible maker's marks or inscriptions.
