Igbo Maternity Statue
This Igbo maternity statue depicts a woman breastfeeding a child, a powerful symbol of nourishment, maternal love, and the continuity of lineages. It has a beautiful light beige and black patina, a testament to the object's age and ritual handling. Atop her head sits a carved bird, an element often associated in Igbo art with protection, mediation between worlds, and even the presence of ancestors. The finesse of the sculpture, the expressiveness of the faces, and the balance of the composition make it a vibrant work of life, dignity, and sacred symbolism.
