Large Mumuye Statue From Nigeria
Large Mumuye statue, in a very classical style—the one most sought after by collectors as well as lovers of modern art.
Carved from a single piece of wood, featuring scrollwork and geometric shapes that intertwine, echo one another, and create a sense of balance; the ears are pierced in a rectangular shape.
Its size indicates that it is a village statue intended to protect the entire clan.
Note the carved teeth and adze marks across the entire surface; this is an early model from the first half of the last century. Height: 110 cm, on a pedestal; shows wear in some areas, with cracks...
