Bidspirit auction | POLYCHROME FIGURE

POLYCHROME FIGURE - Anthropomorphic wooden figure, standing on a circular base, with arms lowered and the torso traversed by a column of small polychrome inlays. The face, with angular features, presents incisions that evoke scarifications and a high headdress finished with a relief element. Surface with heterogeneous patina and traces of ochre, black, green, and red pigments, which highlight volumes and textures. It exhibits characteristics that may refer to West African traditions, possibly related to the Yoruba universe, due to its frontality, headdress, and geometric facial markings.
