Dimitri André

Beautiful in size quality and antiquity is this Bamileke pipe with terracotta cooker with a full anthropomorphic figure. The pipe has fortunately come down to us accompanied by its pierced stick made from a lumpy branch of hardwood with a spirally twisted copper rod tip to symbolise the economic wealth of the owner.
The quality of the plastic carving of the terracotta is remarkable, as it shows some cracks due to age and use.

Provenance: Jean Michel Huguenin, Paris 

1910-1920 - Terracotta, wood - Good condition - used with small signs of aging & blemishes
