Zande Figure of Mani - SOLD OUT

This compact work by its volume and size is striking, it exudes an inherent force in the protective spirit of the cult of Mani.
Magnificent quality of sculpture, the forms are very cubist, modern, of a naturalism pushed to the experience. Added to this is a great deal of age, the patina speaks for itself, it is deep and testifies to past manipulations and requests.

Very similar in style to that of the JOSEPH HERMAN collection, LONDON / SUFFOLK sold at Christie's in 2000, sold for € 9,027.
