BUST - Terracotta bust, with compact volumes and strong frontality, featuring prominent eyes, a closed mouth, and a face surface worked with fine grooves. It wears a striated headdress with a circular motif and displays necklaces and pendants in low relief, emphasizing its regalia. Ocher tones with darkened areas and an irregular patina highlight the incised texture. The combination of globular eyes, possible vertical scarifications, and bead adornments shows characteristics that may allude to West African contexts, possibly related to Edo/Benin or Yoruba traditions.
