Bronze Statue Of Motherhood By Tikar
Bronze maternity statue by Tikar
Bronze statue depicting a mother and her child, originating from the Grassfields region of Cameroon
It is crafted using the lost-wax casting technique, which means that each piece is completely unique, as the clay shell must be broken to reveal the final sculpture cast in a bronze alloy
These figures often depict a queen or a woman of noble lineage seated on a royal stool, holding a child in her arms, in a posture symbolizing motherhood
It is characterized by highly stylized, bulging eyes, an open mouth revealing her teeth, and openwork ears with distinctive geometric shapes, typical of the metalwork of Cameroon’s Grassfields
Complex scarification marks cover the pregnant woman’s rounded belly, symbolizing beauty, fertility, and social status
Bronze with a brown patina, showing signs of wear and oxidation (see close-ups)
17 cm wide, 14 cm deep, and 42 cm tall
