This large Yoruba maternity ward from Nigeria is remarkable. The mother sits haughtily with a beautiful head posture fixed on a very long graceful neck. She has a very noble posture. Her features are fine, very large eyes, a straight nose and a curved mouth make us discover a delicate beauty. Scarifications delicately mark his cheeks. A large hairstyle adorns her head as well as ear jewelry that falls on her shoulders. She holds her child firmly in one hand and a stick in the other. Another child also grabs onto his back. A long curtain of red glass beads covers its trunk.
Very beautiful, very old patina of wear.
This exceptional piece brings together the canons of femininity combining maternity and fertility with the 2 children on either side
