Large Adan statue - Ada Adan - Ghana
Large statue, Adan culture, Ghana. H. 81cm
Beautiful and tall female character Adan from Ghana. The treatment of volumes is interesting, they are simplified and geometric. The composition is successful. It is a sensitive and dreamlike work. The face is soft, it seems illuminated, elsewhere, in dialogue with the spirits. The statuette is covered with orange and white colored pigments. Typical colors of the Adan culture. The wood is old and eroded. An old and authentic collector's item. Circa 1950.
