STATUETTE - Anthropomorphic wooden figure, standing, with a frontal posture and hands near the belly. Head highlighted by a flattened crest hairstyle, face with lateral scarifications and half-closed eyes; geometrised body with compact volumes and robust legs. Dark brown patina, with luster and lighter edges from handling. Based on the formal elements — hairstyle, facial scars, and rigidity of the pose — it exhibits characteristics that may refer to the Yoruba area, possibly related to representations of twins (ibeji).
