STATUETTE - Figurative sculpture in wood, representing a seated female figure holding a child on her lap. Stylized features of strong expressiveness: half-closed eyes, mouth with incised teeth, and a marked crest in the hairstyle; compact volumetry, cylindrical arms, and massive legs on a block seat. Surface with brown patina, smoothed by handling, with wear, small gaps, and visible cracks. It exhibits characteristics that may refer to sculptural traditions of Central Africa.
