FIGURATIVE PIECE - Vertical sculptural element in various materials, with a bifurcated fork-shaped base and topped by a small human figure with an elongated face and arms adducted to the chest. The shaft is densely wrapped with rows of multicolored beads and intertwined knots, interspersed with pendants, creating a distinct texture and chromatic variation over a darkened patina. The composition, the lower fork, and the profuse ornamentation exhibit characteristics that may point to Central or West African productions.
