STATUETTE - Female figure carved in wood, with a frontal composition and compact volumes. The long ringed neck ascends in successive discs to the head with a star-shaped crest; geometrized face with incised features. Torso with incisions evoking scarification and hands supporting prominent breasts; abbreviated legs reinforce the vertical axis. Dark brown patina, with signs of use, wear, and small cracks. It presents characteristics that may refer to West African sculptural traditions.
