Large statue - Tchamba - Togo

Large statue, Tchamba or Losso culture, northern Togo. H.60cm

Imposing and powerful Tchamba or Losso statuette from northern Togo. The figure has an undeniable presence, emanating an ancient and primal strength. It is a living and vibrant object. The alchemy between the invisible forces of spirits and the sculptor's creative hand has worked perfectly.
The character appears grounded, with a confident posture. He gazes at us with his hard, piercing look. His body tense, leaning forward, accentuates this sense of defiance and arrogance. He knows his strength and will not be intimidated. The sculpture is perfect, with bold, dynamic, and harmonious volume treatment. The sculptor has poured all his art into this piece. A beautiful, rare, old, and authentic collectible. Circa 1950.
