STATUETTE - Anthropomorphic wooden figure, standing on a circular base, frontal and compact, with robust volumes. Serene face with eyebrows joined to the nose, almond-shaped eyes, and incised cascade beard; hairstyle with a central crest and lateral protrusions. The hands hold a small stylized blade to the chest; wide feet and indicated genitalia. Surface with whitish patina and signs of use, presenting characteristics that may refer to the Chokwe/Lunda universe of Central Africa, due to the triangular beard, the wielded weapon, and the morphology of the head.
