Description from the seller

Female figure "maternity" Chamba, with a classic patina rubbed with ferruginous red clay. Although it belongs to Nigeria, it inherits a certain similarity with the Mumuye of Cameroon in the arm arrangement and the tribal hieratic pose. Image of an ancestor to whom worship is paid and protection is sought, and in the case of figures with a child, they were associated with fertility. Height: 47 cm.

Seller's Story
