Nigeria (No reserve price)

Julien Gauthier
Expert

Selected by Julien Gauthier

Information The mumuye tribe were known for their expressionist interpretation of the human form. Often some pieces would be anecdotal containing an allegorical tale crafted to amuse, caution or incite moral debate. This figurine depicts a two-faced man. This piece is anecdotal revealing the disingenuous nature of human beings. Decorative use This piece can stand unassisted. It can be displayed on a unit or mantel piece without support.
