Dimitri André

Kongo-Yombe Female Figure, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Height: 32 cm 

Belgian coll.  P. Gilmond 

CATALOGUE NOTE

The smooth lines and the simplified volumes enhance the movement - the hands hold the breasts, sign of devotion in the Kongo way of thinking - where the most important remains in the look towards the sky. Accentuated by the high headdress in the shape of a mitre, the pointed chin and the full shape of the face are underlined by the softness of the brown patina.
