Description from the seller
Description (French)
This elegant anthropomorphic figure is a refined testament to the sculptural genius of the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. The work is distinguished by a slender silhouette and an economy of form that characterize the finest creations from this region. The surface is coated with a beautiful patina of use, whose silky polish and deep nuances reveal prolonged and respectful ritual handling within the community. The balance between geometric volumes and fluid lines lends this piece a peaceful spiritual presence, perfectly illustrating the mediating role of Senufo statuary in rites associated with the Poro society.
