Ancient statuette, Ewe culture, Ghana. H.27cm

Beautiful Ewe statuette from Ghana. Its face is radiant. Its expression is moving, gentle and joyful. It looks at us with love and compassion. It is seated, settled, anchored in a serene strength. The sculptor has succeeded, through this work, in conveying an emotion to us. It makes me think of certain representations of Buddha. Beautiful dry patina. The wood is old, oxidized and eroded in places. Sold as is, see photos. A beautiful piece of collection, ancient and authentic. Circa 1960.
