Description from the seller

Large statue, Tchamba or Losso culture, northern Togo. H.60cm

Imposing and powerful Tchamba or Losso statuette from northern Togo. The figure has an undeniable presence, emanating an ancient and primal strength. It is a living and vibrant object. The alchemy between the invisible forces of spirits and the sculptor's creative hand has worked perfectly.
The figure appears anchored to the ground in a confident posture. It looks at us with its hard, piercing gaze. Its body tense, leaning forward, emphasizes a feeling of defiance and arrogance. It knows its strength and will not be intimidated. The sculpture is perfect, with bold, dynamic, and harmonious treatment of volumes. The sculptor has put all his art into this work. A beautiful rare, old, and authentic collectible piece. Circa 1950.
