Description : **Originally Listed At $500** West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE.

The characteristically elongated head boasts raised almond-shaped eyes (one still with a metal pupil), a pronounced nose above pursed lips, a broad forehead, and several scarification marks on the forehead and cheeks.

Nice red cinnabar is rubbed on areas of the surface and the wood in general presents a lustrous age patina.
