Description from the seller

This piece is part of a striking set of seven Zande Mani statuettes, with powerful silhouettes and stylized faces that command great presence. The carved volumes, metallic adornments, rings and beads compose a particularly decorative group, where each figure retains its own personality while forming a remarkably cohesive whole. A characterful proposition, ideal for enriching an African art collection or creating a strong focal point in an interior.
