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

Founded in 1990 in Barcelona, the gallery has been a beacon for lovers of tribal art, thanks to the drive and passion of Guilhem Montagut.
Guided by his deep interest in tribal art, Guilhem Montagut immersed himself in this fascinating world through the influence of Rachel Montagut, pioneer and visionary in the world of African tribal art, founder and prominent gallerist. Since then, the gallery has remained true to its mission of spreading the beauty and importance of African art on the international art scene.
