Superb old Kota style sculpture from Gabon. It is an artisanal production that has not had any ritual use. The artist who created it was able to breathe life into it, giving it a look and a personality. The face is strong, in tension, it seems expectant, dignified. The whole thing is well composed. The wood is old, oxidized with a very beautiful patina. A beautiful collector's item, made for the trade, around 1950.
