Description from the seller

Hemba ancestor statue with a dark, dry brown patina. The face conveys a great serenity, with a beard resembling a beaded necklace, and half-closed eyes like coffee beans. It has a headdress... signs of wear and aging.
The great Hemba, a replacement piece: whenever a statue becomes damaged, the sculptor carves another one that is identical at the chief's request.
Note: Our shipments are insured and guaranteed.
Note: This statue is a substitute object, meaning the initial object was either damaged or sold.
