Julien Gauthier

Superb Yoruba Ibedji from Nigeria. They are presented standing, their bodies covered with sumptuous clothing adorned with a multitude of carefully arranged cowries. On the upper part of the abdomen they wear a large  pendant adorned with decoration.

Their alert face ends in a beak-shaped mouth and their diamond-shaped eyes are sculpted in relief. The headdress, which forms a sagittal crest, is enriched by lateral braids sculpted by regular cascading grooves. These works have a worn patina resulting from significant ritual use.

Acquired from a Spanish private collection, R.O in the 80's -  XX century

For other destinations out of European territory: all our items will be shipped after obtaining a definitive LICENSE EXPORTATION by the Ministry of Culture of Spain. We inform our clients that it may take between 4-8 weeks. According to Spanish legislation, items sent outside the European Union are subjected to export taxes. The taxes will be added to the invoice, at the buyer's expense. These export fees are fixed on the final auction price, and the tax rate is not applied directly to the total value of the item to be exported, but rather the different percentages by sections are applied to it:
Up to 6,000 euros: 5%. / From 6.001 to 60.000 euros: 10 %.

Please note that for far destination (Asia, middle east etc.. ), there will be an additional cost for the shipping.
