Description from the seller

Bird statuette, Adan culture, Ghana. Height 34 cm

Beautiful wooden bird in the minimalist style of the Adan of Ghana. It is rare to find one this large. The sculpture is dynamic and lively. The volumes are soft and harmonious. It is covered with kaolin powder. The wood is eroded at the base but solid and insect-free. It is an altar object dedicated to the spirits of the hunt. An old and authentic collectible piece. Circa 1960.
