Bidspirit auction | SEATED FIGURE

SEATED FIGURE - Female figure seated on a chair, made of wood with beads and shells, with a prominent head, half-closed eyes, and a delineated mouth, accentuating a contemplative expression. Elongated arms rest on the knees, suggesting hieratic frontality; a necklace of beads and applied elements reinforce the presence. Surface with marked patina, longitudinal fissures, and discrete reliefs depicting bracelets and anklets. It presents characteristics that may refer to Central African productions, possibly related to Luba/Hemba contexts, due to the emphasis on the head, seated pose, and geometric treatment of facial features.
