Description from the seller
Interesting bronze Christ originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo from the period of Christian integration. The naive treatment blends with the deeply rooted African concept of highlighting the size of the head in sculptures, making it stand out as the main feature of the individual’s uniqueness. Old excavation patina, though it has been cleaned.
Height: 24 cm.
