Afo - Nigeria

Interesante figura femenina Afo representando la autoridad del matriarcado; el detallado peinado y la postura de reposo sentada indica tratarse de una notable. Es tradicional mostrar los dientes, no como ferocidad sino como imagen de salud por una vida más cuidada y una buena alimentación. Vieja pátina de resina de copal y ceniza con algunas grietas por deshidratación.
Altura: 51 cm.
