Bidspirit auction | SEATED FIGURE

SEATED FIGURE - Anthropomorphic figure in metal alloy, seated on a small seat on a lobed circular base. Elongated proportions, tubular arms with bracelets, slender legs with anklets, and a chest marked by circular relief elements; narrow face with half-closed eyes, prominent chin, and a tall conical headdress. Dark-toned surface with homogeneous patina and polishing on the protrusions. Due to the filiform stylization and the conical headdress, it presents characteristics that may refer to the sculptural tradition of the Western Sahel, a hypothesis not confirmable by photographs alone.
