Provenance Netherlands Private Collection As noted by Klaus-Jochen Krüger, 'It is quite unusual to find sculptures from the southern part of Sudan in early collections, whether public or private. This war-torn region has been inaccessible for many years, and, until very recently, southern Sudan was one of the few regions unscathed by African traders scouting for works of art. Sculpture from this remote region has only recently begun to appear in greater numbers on the art market, but despite their lack of pedigree they are worthy of detailed examination.' ('Tribal Arts,' Winter/Spring 1999/2000, p. 82) Cf. (Ibid.) figs. 16-18 for similar ringed examples of the Tonj pole styles I and II.
