Presenting a truly monumental Senufo hornbill sculpture, soaring to an impressive 81 inches in height with a base measuring approximately 21" x 17". This striking piece features an aged oxidized finish, lending it a sense of profound antiquity. The sculpture depicts the revered "Setien" figure of the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast, notable for its tall, slender form and its distinctive rounded wings, a variation on the more angular wings often seen in Senufo hornbills.
The gray oxidized finish speaks to the sculpture's likely age and exposure over time, enhancing the contours of the carving and adding a layer of historical depth. The rounded wings offer a unique and softer aesthetic compared to more angular depictions, perhaps representing a specific lineage, artistic interpretation, or symbolic nuance within Senufo tradition. The impressive height of the figure underscores its significance within its original cultural context, likely serving as a powerful intermediary between the human and spirit worlds.
Beyond its value as a collector's item, this Antique African figure can bring a unique and grounding presence to a contemporary home or garden: Its intriguing form and potential history will undoubtedly spark curiosity and discussion. It can add an element of the unexpected when paired with modern furniture and art, creating a globally-inspired aesthetic.
