A fragmented female Bankoni terracotta sculpture, Mali, recognizable by its elongated proportions and distinct features. Her ringed left arm descends her body as her large hand rests on her thigh, short legs, a long tubular thin torso, the right arm is holding an object, the head is composed of the same style of mounts; this beautiful slender piece is of great artistic mastery and graceful simplicity who resonate as a whole profoundly, incl. stand. Certificate of provenance.
"Traces of a fourteenth- and fifteenth-century tradition of figurative representations in cast metal and fired clay have been found at a number of sites in the Bamana region near Bougouni and Diola. Bankoni elongated figures, may be an artistic precursor to more recent Bamana wood sculptures devoted to similar subjects."
