Based on stylistic features, this work can be attributed to a carver named Muhlati or his workshop.
Muhlati was a noted carver who was active in the colonial Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) in Portuguese East Africa (now Mozambique) in the late19th century. He was a member of the Tsonga or Shangaan ethnic group and was famous throughout the land for his talent. He is best known for his distinctively styled figural carvings, bowls and tankards.
