SCULPTURAL PIECE - Wooden sculpture representing a figure seated cross-legged on a high, open-worked seat, with an upright torso and hands holding a vertical element that descends to the center. The large head features an elaborate fan-shaped headdress with incised motifs, almond-shaped eyes, and a concentrated expression. The carving reveals angular volumes, meticulously marked nails and bracelets, with a dark, lustrous patina and brownish nuances on the edges. It presents characteristics that may refer to Central African repertoires.
