Dimitri André

Masculine Figurine, Yoruba sculpture, Nigeria Height: 30 cm. 

Beautiful and powerful representation of Eshu, the guardians of the roads, the messenger enabling the dialogue between gods, he is the mischievous and teasing spirit, a complex divinity.  In the Greek mythology he is named Hermes.  Well-carved figure, it seems to be alive, housed.  It has its own personality.  Beautiful ancient patina of wear.  The wood is damaged on some parts, have a look at the pictures.  The bottom of the legs is missing.  A beautiful, ancient and authentic piece of collection.  Around 1950.
