Figurine - Lobi Bateba beeldje - Wood

Bateba figurines served as spiritual protection or intermediary to ward off misfortune, illness, and evil spirits. The extensive termite damage on the sides and back and the rough, natural condition of the working surface are, for a collector, particularly promising indications that this is an authentic piece. From a private collection. It weighs 63 g, is 26.5 cm high, comes with a stand, and is shipped with a tracking code via bpost Belgium, carefully packed.
