Description from the seller

Distinct Baule features such as: elongated, elegant proportions,
finely cut nose, mouth, and eyes and typical Baoulé scarifications on the face, abdomen, and back, legs bent at the knees with bulging calves.
The head–torso–legs proportions fit perfectly within the Baule aesthetic.
One hand supports the finely trimmed beard, and the other rests on the abdomen. All of this gives the impression of inner tension.
The patina is a deep reddish-brown.
The haircut is cut in deep and varied layers.
