Description from the seller

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