Head of a statue - Archaeological terracotta - Chamba - Nigeria

Tête de statue, culture Chamba, Nigeria. H. 20cm. Beau fragment d'un personnage en terre cuite du Nigeria. Attribué à l'ethnie Chamba. Pas de datation précise. Mais au minimum plus d'une centaine d'années vu la surface, l'érosion et la technique. Le visage est beau, vivant. Le regard est profond et puissant. C'est une oeuvre habité. Le style est d'apparence assez simple et naïf mais il renferme en lui une grande sensibilité. L'artiste a su nous faire passer à travers cette oeuvre une émotion. La bouche est cassé. Le haut du crâne est fendu mais solide. Le reste du corps est manquant c'est un fragment. L'oeuvre est solide, sans parties friable. Voir photos pour plus de détails. Les photos font partie de la description. Socle sur mesure. Une belle œuvre ancienne, rare et authentique. Circa 1900/1950 The seller guarantees and can prove that the object was obtained legally. The seller was informed by Catawiki that they had to provide the documentation required by the laws and regulations in their country of residence. The seller guarantees and is entitled to sell/export this object. The seller will provide all provenance information known about the object to the buyer.
