Bidspirit auction | HYBRID FIGURE

HYBRID FIGURE - Anthropomorphic figure in wood with fibers and fabric, with compact volume and frontal posture, with roughly defined legs. The head, with an avian appearance, elongated beak, and prominent circular eyes, dominates the composition, while the torso features angular and marked planes. The arms close to the body hold tied vegetable bundles, and the waist is wrapped with a fabric strip; surface with dry patina, cracks, and visible wear. The piece presents characteristics that may allude to productions from the Sepik River, in Papua New Guinea, due to the zoomorphic lexicon and the integration of fiber elements.
