Description from the seller

Statuette, Moba culture, northern Togo. Height 43 cm

Beautiful Moba statuette from northern Togo. The sculpture is vibrant and dynamic; it seems to be in motion. Its elongated silhouette is graceful. The sculpture is deftly reduced to the essentials. There is a gentle presence emanating from this piece. Beautiful patina. An antique and authentic collectible piece. Circa 1960
