Description from the seller
Anthropomorphic statue with bent legs, her feet forming a trapezoidal base, characteristic of the culture. His hands, with incised fingers, rest on his knees, which are themselves folded over a bulging belly with a protruding umbilicus. His stylised face is punctuated by two small protuberances on the sides, referring to his ears or short plaits. It probably represents an ancestor. Kulango culture, Ivory Coast and Ghana. Circa 1900.
Provenance: old French collection
