A striking African wooden female figure featuring a distinctive stylized form and a beautifully carved radiating coiffure. The sculpture displays classic abstract proportions with a cylindrical neck, simplified torso, and bent arms resting on the abdomen. The elaborate semicircular hairstyle with fine linear carvings is particularly characteristic and adds strong visual impact. The facial features are minimalistic yet expressive, with closed eyes and a calm, introspective expression. The figure stands on a circular base and shows clear signs of age and use, including surface wear, patina, and minor losses, which enhance its authenticity and character. Such figures are often associated with fertility, protection, or ancestral representation, depending on the cultural context. A decorative and collectible piece of African tribal art. Material: Carved wood with patina Dimensions Height (L): 29 cm Width (B): 7 cm Depth (T): 8 cm Weight: 406 g Provenance: Private collection, Freiburg, Germany K137-3
