卖家的描述
Losso Sculpture - Siou, Niamtougou Region, Togo
The compact wooden figure is characterized by a powerful, almost architectural unity. Two short, sturdy legs connect a round base to the massive, barrel-shaped torso. Above sits a large, laterally flattened head, its face reduced to narrow notches for the eyes and mouth. Linear carvings articulate the cheeks and body; a striking zigzag motif traverses the front. A cord with small pendants is attached to the neck. The gray-brown, dry surface, with its wear, cracks, and darker deposits, lends the figure a pronounced material presence.
The sculpture is attributed to the Losso (Nawdba) people of the Siou and Niamtougou region in northern Togo. Their figures belong to a regional pictorial tradition closely linked to that of the neighboring Lamba people; a clear ethnic distinction based solely on stylistic criteria is often not possible. Different functions are attributed to comparable sculptures: As alua, they could be understood as material "dwellings" of spiritual beings or ancestors; other figures were associated with protection or twin concepts. However, ethnographic documentation remains limited.
