STATUETTE - Female figure carved in wood, with a compact body and prominent head, with a striated chignon hairstyle, half-closed eyes, and a sharp nose. The bent arms extend to the chest, holding a small volume, while the torso shows abdominal incisions; it rests on a carved base. Dark brown surface with smoothed patina and reddish nuances, with signs of use. The modeling and serenity of the face may refer to Central African sculptural traditions.
