Description from the seller

Hemba ancestor statue with a dark brown, dry patina. The face radiates great serenity, with a necklace-like beard and half-closed eyes like coffee beans. It features a headdress ...traces of use and aging
The great Hemba, a replacement piece; every time a statue wears out, the sculptor carves another one identical at the chief's request.
NB: Our packages are shipped insured and guaranteed,
