Dear Timothy, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be a statue made from fossiled wood with measurements of 20.5 inches in height. The sculpture depicts a face and was made by the contemporary artist Grzegorz Michałek. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases. Comparable objects were recently not offered and sold on the international auction market. Grzegorz Michałek is just sold on the primary market for an asking price of around 5.000 USD. If you want to sell this sculpture again you have to use the secondary auction market and such a piece would be estimated in an action of just around 800 to 1500 USD. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 800 to 1.500 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, George
