Wooden sculpture from Burkina Faso depicting a standing Mossi woman, with traditional scarification, height 55 cm, in good condition, original/authentic, from a private collection and sold with a stand.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Excellent figure of a young standing woman showing the scarifications typical of her tribe. Good overall conservation except for some minor woodworm damage. Interesting work by the sculptor to capture the slight tension in the legs and shoulders, despite the hieratic appearance. Natural patina from use. From the Ruth & Allen Ziegler collection, Brentwood, USA. Height: 55 cm.

Seller's Story

PRIMITIVE ART IN GENERAL, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN. ORIGINATING FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR ACQUIRED AT PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES OR INTERNATIONAL AUCTIONS.
