Description from the seller

Hemba ancestor statue with a dark brown, dry patina. The face bears a great serenity, with a beard like a beaded necklace, and half-closed eyes like coffee beans. It has a headdress ... traces of use and aging
The great Hemba, a replacement piece; whenever a statue is damaged, the sculptor carves another one identical at the chief's request.
NB: Our parcels are shipped with insurance and guaranteed,
