Description : African art. Mossi, Burkina Faso. Fertility doll. Hardwood with dark patina. Signs of use.. Brilliant work in synthesizing and stylizing the forms of the female figure honed and handed down for centuries by Mossi sculptors, which surface in the few features that characterize this Burkina Faso fertility doll. A few perfectly arranged incised lines signal vulva, scarification, and hair. The face is masterfully resolved by removing part of the rim/head, while four holes irrefutably connote eyes and ears. The decisive patina and widespread soft marks of prolonged use give this small work of art a particularly expressive character. Cm 6,00 x 31,00 x 7,00.
