Bobo Bronze Statue From Burkina Faso

Rare bronze sculpture with verdigris patina in places, height 21cm plus base made to measure by its former owner representing a male dignitary with a crest-shaped headdress and a goatee we can see tribal scarifications on both cheeks as well as on the above his eyes a loincloth covered with cowries is glued to his chest by lifting the loincloth behind his back we can see surprising flat buttocks? (I suppose that from its conception it was planned to cover it) and its male sexual attributes I do not know the meaning of this statue with remarkable sculptural precision, nor its tribal function Provenance Collection Maurice Nicaud Paris I remind you that Maurice Nicaud born in 1911 died in 2003 was a great Parisian primitive art dealer who surveyed Africa from the 1950s His name is an international reference free shipping worldwide
