CI WARA CREST, BAMANA, MALI - Lot 56
CI WARA CREST, BAMANA, MALI Wood with brown patina H. 82 cm Beautiful and elegant Ci Wara crest. Art of measure, balance and proportion, the representation of the male antelope is stylized to the extreme. Resting on a rectangular base pierced to allow the dancer to fix it, the legs meet there. The neck is openwork and slender, covered with a schematic coat. The long face is surmounted by small ears and two horns representing those of Hippotragus equinus. The whole of great finesse is a beautiful testimony of Bamana art (the top of the horns: broken and glued). Provenance: Galerie Simone de Monbrison, Paris, acquired before 1970 Collection of Madame Françoise Mouzet, France
