Hand-carved from wood, the sculpture depicts a seated woman nurturing a child at her breast—a powerful representation of maternal devotion. The Tyepka society, a prestigious social organization among the Senufo, commissioned such figures to celebrate women's essential role in community life and ceremonial practices. Standing 18 inches tall with a 3.5-inch width and 4-inch depth, this authentic piece bears the patina of age with minor wear consistent with its vintage provenance. An invaluable addition for serious collectors. See less
