The figure displays a crested coiffure, incised scarification, cylindrical ear ornaments, and a stylized geometric body with pronounced negative space surrounding the torso. Richly weathered with age-related surface wear, shrinkage cracks, and a deep, naturally developed patina, the sculpture possesses the powerful presence and abstract elegance characteristic of traditional Mumuye spirit and prestige figures. Presented on a custom iron display stand. See less
