Description
Seated female figure
Wood, old honey and russet patina (bears a "P. Ratton" label)
Sénoufo, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire
Height: 22 cm
This Senufo female figure has generous, balanced forms, supported by a calm, interiorised posture. The attentive face, sculpted armbands and slightly protruding belly convey a symbolism linked to fertility and abundance. The headdress, finished with a central protuberance evoking a stylised bird's beak, probably inspired by the guinea fowl, is part of a formal vocabulary frequently found in Senufo art. The whole piece exudes a gentle presence and great plastic quality.
