"Anthropomorphic Statuette - Kulango Culture, Ivory Coast And Ghana - Circa 1900 "
ANTHROPOMORPHE STATUTE depicted with bowed legs on feet forming a trapezoidal base characteristic of the culture. Her circular arms rest her hands on her waist, and the double neck indicates that this is probably a twin couple with one head.
His stylised face is punctuated by two small protuberances on the sides, referring to his ears or short plaits.
It probably represents an ancestor.
