Superb old statuette coming from the Bariba ethnos group.
Bracelets, collars, of very old pearls and cauris
are supplemented by tinplate rings.
The position is rather unusual in the African statuary.
The face, of very ovoid form, mark a great softness.
Scarifications are very finely represented.
Hard and clear wood, superb patina of use.
