Carved head bust of a man, with stretched ears, in African hardwood, ebony or teak.
Size: 16 1/2 x 9 in.
The Maasai Tribes of Kenya have used ear stretching to alter their appearance for centuries. Ear stretching may have been performed in various ways within the tribe, sometimes weight was used to elongate earlobes, other times it was the size of the piercing that brought about the stretching, much like it is today.
