Item Details

Description

Superb Bamileke-Batie Female Figure, Cameroon
mu-po
Wood, ritual substance in eyes
Height 7 1/2in (19cm)

Provenance
Bernd Muhlack Collection, Kiel, Germany
French Private Collection

Though small, this figure is a masterful conception of modern expressionism, with every feature from head to toe carved with complex, juxtaposed volumes; the breasts obviously indicate a woman and her body twist and leans connoting movement or perhaps transformation; fine dark brown encrusted patina, the eye enhanced with ritual paraphernalia.

Condition

Old loss to base on right; minor white specks; minor nicks, scratches, abrasions and wear consistent with age. Custom base.
