Consulter la cote et le prix de Mid-20Th C. African Igbo Wood Articulated Female Figure



Description : **Originally Listed At $250** Western Africa, Nigeria, Igbo peoples, ca. mid 20th century CE. A tall anthropomorphic standing female figure, her form denoted by finely-carved features and accentuated with chalky-white kaolin pigmentation. Thick legs trace upwards to delineated genitalia, and a hoop-shaped waist band encircles her tubular abdomen. Both arms are pinned into the sloping shoulders and are able to move independently of the main body, giving her a life-like locomotion. A naturalistic head boasts a broad nose, thin lips, ovoid ears, and almond-shaped eyes, all beneath an arching coiffure with a crosshatch-patterned design on the verso. A fabulous example from the Igbo culture! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 18.5 H (47 cm), 19.5 H (49.5 cm) on included custom stand.
