The head area is worn smooth from the hands of many people over the years. Note the oil stains around the neck from repeated adornment. The figure has obvious age and wear, and is a rare example of African Tribal Art.Provenance:Ex private Pennsylvania Collection.Circa:Mid 20thcentury.Dimensions:56 inches tall. *** This Item must be shipped by our Third party shipper.
