Statuette - Akan - Ghana
Statuette, Akan culture, Ghana. H. 36cm
Beautiful Akan statuette from Ghana. The sculpture is fine and harmonious. The sculptor knew how to bring his work to life. The face is expressive, the mouth is half open, the statuette seems ready to speak to us. Her arms are stretched forward, she must have been holding objects in her hands. The feet are missing, they were not attached to the statue. The body is well balanced and dynamic. Note also the groove of the well-executed neck as well as the finesse of the headdress. Beautiful old patina. An old and authentic collector's item. Circa 1960.
