Yoruba Anago Altar Statue
Anago altar statue, Benin, wood and mineral polychromy, mid-20th century, 24 cm, personal collection.
Female ritual altar statue with marked polychromy on the face. The sculptural treatment is remarkably cubist. There is also an empty hole in the headdress, which would have served as a receptacle for a removable element, now missing. The object has a slightly tawny patina, is authentic and has not been restored.
