Statuette - Mambila - Cameroon

Statuette, Mambila culture, Cameroon. H. 21cm

Beautiful Mambila sculpture from Cameroon. It is an atypical work with personality. Attributed to the Mambila of Cameroon, it is possible that it comes from a neighboring ethnic group. The style is particular, the volumes are simplified with a cubist touch. The whole is harmonious and well balanced. It is a sensitive work, the face is beautiful and expressive. Beautiful old patina. Visible slits. See photos. A beautiful old and authentic collector's item. Circa 1950.
