Igbo statue
Nigeria

H. 88 cm
Provenance
Monsieur X Collection.
Imposing statue of a female figure seated on a column, legs bent, arms separated from the body, hands facing the sky, wrists wearing heavy bracelets. The arms and torso, with their small conical breasts and protruding navel, are covered with scarification marks in dots and circles. The facial expression is austere, almost aggressive, the mouth open to blunt teeth, the eyes open, the temples and forehead scarified. The entire sculpture is covered with a thick, crusty ritual material that retains traces of ancient yellow and red polychromy.
