Interesting Chamba stake from Nigeria. The face is expressive and sparkling. The figure seems in a joyful mood. There is something mysterious in his gaze. His mouth is slightly open, he smiles at us. Ethnic scarifications adorn his cheeks. The sculpture is lively and dynamic. The volumes are treated in a geometric way. It is a work with personality. The sculptor has managed to give it a soul. The wood is dense. The lower part of the stake is metal. Old patina from use. Cracks and flaws, sold as is. See photos. A beautiful piece of antique and authentic collection. Circa 1950.
