Description from the seller

Magnificent and poetic fragment of a Nok culture head from Nigeria. In this work we can see how they truly emerge from the ground of the period, without restoration and without added engobes. We can say that this work is (dans son jus). This Nok fragment was, at the time, in the apartment of the legendary Parisian dealer Jean-Michel Huguenin.

Provenance: Jean-Michel Huguenin Collection, Paris
