"Terracotta Bust Djenné From Mali"
Superb full terracotta bust with reddish slip measuring 21cm high wide 16.5cm 8cm deep plus quality base Djenné terracottas date back to the 12th century. They very rarely reached us intact. The sculpture that I am offering you probably represents a dignitary with his headdress and a twisted serpentiform necklace around his neck. The typical head tilted backwards presents a face with a serene expression. Numerous circular scarifications all over the body. Look carefully at the photos to show you the condition that we can judge to be more than reasonable free shipping worldwide Provenance; Maud and René Garcia (Parisian gallery owners)
