Statue - Tabwa - DR Congo (No reserve price)

Elegant Tabwa figure from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, characterized by remarkable stylization and striking formal modernity. The elongated body, the slender arms falling along the torso and the straight legs confer on the whole a clean, almost minimalist silhouette. The face with half-closed eyes expresses calm and interiority, while the geometric scarifications recall clan identity and Tabwa aesthetic traditions. This sculpture, of great plastic sobriety, already evokes, through its taut lines and balance, the explorations of modern art in the 20th century.
