DOUGLAS LESLIE WEBB 3D ABORIGINAL WOOD RELIEF PANEL - MID-CENTURY MODERN DECORATIVE DIORAMA

A STRIKING THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOOD RELIEF COMPOSITION DEPICTING AN OUTBACK LANDSCAPE WITH INDIGENOUS FIGURES, TREES, AND ROCKY OUTCROPS.

COMPOSITION AND TECHNIQUE:
THE PANEL FEATURES MULTIPLE CARVED FIGURES IN TRADITIONAL POSTURE - SOME STANDING SENTINEL WITH SPEARS, OTHERS IN CONTEMPLATIVE POSES - POSITIONED ACROSS A NATURALISTIC TERRAIN OF CARVED ROCK FORMATIONS AND TREES WITH CHARACTERISTIC SPREADING CANOPIES.
