Description from the seller

Statue, Moba culture, Northern Togo

Beautiful figurine from the north of Togo in animal bone. The figurine is vivid and dynamic. It is skillfully reduced to the essence, a simple body in motion. The patina is excellent. See photos; sold as is. A wonderful collector's item. Circa 1960
