Julien Gauthier

Characteristic standing  figure, the head displays a cavity with a central hole, which is a frequent feature of ‘Komaland figures’.
In the 1980s, the first red-clay figures representing this typical style were discovered by chance in Northern Ghana. They came from large, flat tumuli. In the 1990s, the area in which the Koma Builsa tribe lives today became the object of more careful examination. Sculptures of this type have been called ‘Komaland figures’ since then.
Provenance: Manfred Schäfer, former gallery owner from Ulm, Germany. Comes with custom made stand.
