AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful old pair of bronze sculptures inspired by Africa, depicting two women in traditional everyday life scenes.
These two slender statuettes feature expressive work and numerous details in the rendering of faces, hairstyles, jewelry, clothing, hands, feet and various accessories.
The first woman is depicted standing, holding a long pestle, with a vessel at her feet evoking a mortar. The composition seems to represent a traditional cereal pounding scene, possibly mil. She also holds a small vessel in her other hand.
The second sculpture represents a porter, lifting a large vessel over her head. Her particularly elongated silhouette and the position of her arms give a lot of verticality and balance to the composition.
Both sculptures display an old dark patina with brownish nuances, with varying tones, traces and surface irregularities that highlight the bronze modeling and the many details.
Presented together, they form a very beautiful decorative pair, with two different but perfectly complementary subjects.
The precise geographical origin, the workshop, and the exact period of creation are not known. These sculptures are therefore offered without specific attribution.
