Lot 40

Arte Africana

Democratic Republic of Congo - Lega. Female figure. Ivory. Some flaws, signs of use.

Beautiful and old female figure in ivory, probably of ancestor, obtained sculpting the external part of the tusk and leaving the back of the rough and convex sculpture.
In this work, whose hands are not even mentioned and end seamlessly directly in the legs, what amazes is the extreme synthesis of the inlay that without any concession to embellishment or decoration of the detail, gives it an extremely primitive appearance.
Beautiful glossy patina, some defects, small shortcomings, cracks and signs of use.
weight: 68 grams.
Accompanied by CITES certificate.

Measures: 13.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm
