Fon Bocio, Benin
2 000€
Exceptional large Bocio Kudio, house keeper. From this simple sculpture with its gullied shape, the strong and expressive face, the closed eyes, emanates a power which gives it an ancestral dimension. The very hard wood reveals its pores, erosion having eliminated the soft parts and the movement of the fibers following the contour of the face, arms and chest makes this effigy of the in between vibrant with a natural and supernatural life. at a time.
