AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
This carved wooden statuette depicts a standing male figure, dressed in ochre-yellow attire and wearing a white colonial-style helmet. The face, treated in an expressive manner, features large painted eyes, defined eyebrows, and a discreet mouth, giving the sculpture a naïve yet lively character.
The figure bears on the chest a motif painted in black, white and red, evoking a decoration or stylized emblem. The boots are blue, contrasting with the outfit, while the hands rest along the body in a rigid pose. The sculpture is mounted on a circular wooden base.
Created in an African popular style, this piece highlights an ancient polychromy with a beautiful patina of use. There are some wear marks and small paint chips, attesting to its age and history.
Ideal for a collection of African art, folk art, or as an original decorative object.
Good condition; see photos.
