Wooden statue - Azande - DR Congo

Wooden statue – Azande – DRC

This wooden statue is attributed to the artistic tradition of the Azande, a people mainly located in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as in neighboring regions. Figurative sculpture holds a place in Zande artistic expressions, with often stylized forms and attention given to the representation of the human body. Carved in wood, this piece bears witness to the artisans' craftsmanship and their mastery of volumes and proportions.

In its silhouette and sculptural character, this statue naturally fits into a collection of African art or into a contemporary interior. It creates a harmonious dialogue between Azande artistic heritage and a contemporary aesthetic, while constituting a singular collection piece for lovers of African art.
