SCULPTURAL PIECE - Female figure in wood, seated frontally on a base, holding a child by her right leg. Physiognomy with half-closed eyes, closed mouth, and incised scarifications; voluminous, carefully sculpted lobed coiffure. Body with compact volumes and conical breasts, with hands resting on the knees. Polished surface with a dark patina and reddish reflections and visible wear, including drying cracks in the base; a conception that may approximate sculptural traditions of Central Africa.
