Description from the seller

Female statuette, Ewe culture, Ghana. H. 38 cm

Beautiful female statuette from Ghana. The figure has a strong presence, the body is taut, the figure seems awake, head forward, alert. The face is captivating, the gaze is determined and lively. The mouth is slightly open, once fed; its patina tells us so. The face is the most refined part, the rest of the body with fine volumes is carved more simply. Wooden curls adorn her ears. The white color is supplied by the wood used as well as by the application of kaolin powder. A fine, old, authentic collectible piece. Circa 1960.
