Ngbaka figure North Congo
The North Congo Ngbaka Ubangui Statuary
This African statue is to be classified as a rare and unusual figure. It is a standing figure with a stylized body, the arms descending along the body. A broad neck supports a head with a hollowed out face and striking details, overhung by a high rounded forehead. The strength of this statue lies undoubtedly in the remarkable quality of its sculpture, and the patina is also appreciable.
