Description from the seller

Statuette, Adan culture, Ghana. Height 25 cm

Beautiful and ancient Adan figure from Ghana. The face is enigmatic and ghostly. Disfigured by attacks from xylophagous insects. Its presence is unreal. The sculptor managed to breathe life into this work. The sculpture is dynamic and well composed. The handling of the volumes is particularly successful. The statuette is covered with dark orange and white pigments. Colors typical of the Adan culture. The wood is old, oxidized and weathered. Sold as is, see photos. A beautiful old and authentic collectible object. Circa 1950.
