Description from the seller

Baoulé statuette, Côte d’Ivoire. H. 33 cm

Beautiful Baoulé statuette from Côte d’Ivoire. This is a lively work, radiating an ancient and mysterious inner strength. The style is classical and full of grace. The expression on the face is dignified, stern, and focused. Its pose exudes strength and confidence. Its body and face bear numerous scarification marks. It is covered with old, glossy paint. The patina is superb, glossy, and deep. A beautiful, authentic antique collector’s piece. Circa 1950.

Provenance: Toguna Gallery, Toulouse.
