Description from the seller
Ivory Coast
Senoufo
Estimated antiquity: second half of the 20th century.
Senoufo statue, an ethnic group located in northern Ivory Coast.
The piece depicts a scarified woman (and thus initiated into the Poro rites), seated on a Senoufo stool.
The sculpture features superb details and a typically Senoufo posture.
Beautiful patina.
