Description from the seller

Ancient statuette, Ewe culture, Ghana. H.27cm

Beautiful Ewe statuette from Ghana. Her face radiates. Her expression is moving, gentle and joyful. She looks at us with love and compassion. She is seated, in place, anchored in a serene strength. The sculptor, through this work, has managed to convey an emotion to us. It reminds me of certain representations of Buddha. Beautiful dry patina. The wood is old, oxidized and eroded in places. Sold as is, see photos. A beautiful old and authentic collectible piece. Circa 1960.
