AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Typical piece from the 1940s-1960s produced by African sculptors alongside their 'ethnographic' production. This object adopts the codes of tribal art but is strongly influenced by the presence of Europeans. This production is a testimony to an important historical period for Africa.
