Abron Statuette, Ivory Coast
400€
Agni statuette with a very slender body on a small base, the arms along the torso. The sculpture is simple, cut in straight cuts, long legs with slightly sketched movement and a bust with small breasts and cubist shoulders. The handsome, stylized face sports an internalized expression topped by a pretty cone-shaped headdress incised in scales. The conical shape is repeated in the ringed neck. The regular tool marks bring light to the smooth brown and shiny honey patina.
