Description
Statue
depicting a nude woman, standing, her arms outstretched from her body, her hands resting on the edge of her abdomen. Her face, framed within a triangular space, bears an introspective expression accentuated by her half-closed, almond-shaped eyes. The tiered headdress is arranged in a semicircle.
Wood, with an old honey-coloured and brown patina; signs of wear and tear; weathering on the left leg.
Tchokwé, Huíla Province, Angola.
H. 41.5 cm
Female Tchokwé statuettes are rare. They probably represented a queen or a female ancestor honoured for her fertility and dignity.
