This is the rating and price for A Fine Dan Female Sculpture, Mid 20th century



Description : Carved wooden sculpture of a female with heavy incised liner designs and an overall classic form. In Dan society, sculptures of women are prestige objects that reflect positively both on their owners' and their subjects' reputations. Among the most costly of Dan expressive forms, they are commissioned by men to honor an especially esteemed wife. The sculptures are conceived of as portraits of the women they depict, although suggest an overarching emphasis on established Dan ideals of feminine beauty.
