Description
CHAMBA Double-sided statue (Leko). 20th century. Height: 66 cm. Light wood, with a reddish patina covering the entire statue. The two bellies, which form the centre of gravity for each figure, are surrounded by fine beads that draw attention to this part of the body, which is likely the key feature of this statuette. In the centre of the abdomen, two fine beads may evoke the notion of twins, which was a remarkable event and conferred upon the parents a very special status that ordinary folk envied. The navels are clearly marked by a half-sphere. The two arms of each figure hang down alongside the body, forming a V-shape. The legs are depicted in a figurative style and help to lend elegance to the statuette, whose conjoined heads are crowned with a headdress rising in the shape of a truncated cone. Provenance: Pierre Redouin Collection.
