Bidspirit auction | SCULPTURAL PIECE

SCULPTURAL PIECE - Sculptural staff in mixed materials, with an elongated and slightly sinuous shaft, topped by three stylized heads arranged radially at the top. Simplified facial features, compact volumes and a dark, shiny patina, with signs of use; handle wrapped in aged fabric/rope. The multifacial composition and angular modeling present characteristics that may refer to formal universes of Central Africa. A piece with contained expression and strong volumetric presence.
