母性像 - Kulango - Côte d'Ivoire (No reserve price)

Expert

Selected by Julien Gauthier

This statue is a representation of a pregnant woman embodying the matrilineal traditions of the Akan honored in a cult of fertility. Maternity figures are particularly appreciated and sought after because they symbolize a central theme in African arts: that of fertility and filiation. In addition, Koulango statues are not frequent which further supports the remarkable character of this statue. Provenance: ex tropical Doctor
