"Democratic Republic Of Congo, Luba/hemba People, Caryatid Seat Carved Wood Female Figure."
Democratic Republic of Congo, Luba/Hemba people, mid-20th century, very pretty little caryatid seat in very patinated engraved wood depicting a female character sitting on a circular base with a border decorated with geometric patterns. The sculpture of the character is remarkable and represents the evocative power of the woman, the proudly raised chest, a sign of fertility and the prognathous face full of confidence. It is worth noting the sculptor's attention to detail; as evidenced by the engraved border, the digitized hands and the proud posture. Condition: stabilized cracks and old restorations without affecting the beautiful aesthetics. Height 20 cm. Diameter at the top 18 cm. Diameter at the base 17.5 cm.
