Description
Wooden tribal figure, African school, 20th century
Carved wood. Dimensions: 85 x 20 x 12 cm. An anthropomorphic sculpture with a pronounced verticality, constructed using elongated forms and a highly simplified anatomical structure, featuring a small head, a tubular neck and limbs rendered in an almost abstract manner. The piece stands out for its powerful formal synthesis and the balance between emptiness and mass, characteristics that intensify its ritual and totemic dimension. The bare surface, the natural patina of the wood, and the severity of its silhouette place it within the African sculptural tradition of a ceremonial nature.
