Description : Yoruba Female Figure with Bowl, Nigeria olumeye Wood with shiny dark brown patina, kaolin highlights Height 6in (15.5cm) Provenance Martin and Roberta Lerner Collection, New York New York Private Collection, acquired in the 1980s Henry Drewel notes that the 'interruption of broad, flat, and generally smooth surfaces with incised or low-relief patterns is a striking feature of much Yoruba art. Nowhere is this more evident than in the enhancement of the body through scarification and tattooing...These designs, pleasing both the eye and the hand, can have explicitly erotic associations.' ( African Artistry: Technique and Aesthetics in Yoruba Sculpture, The High Museum, Atlanta, 1980, p. 15) Of diminutive size, the artist of this figurine, through the proportions and detail, has created a work of monumental presence; the patina with a polished, jewel-like feel.
