Suku Figure

Suku statuary 

Suku statues are relatively rare in their basis, with a zoomorphic figure on the top of the head. This makes this statue quite unique. A similar statue in the collection of Charles Raton and Samuel Dubiner was once in private collections...

This refined statue, with its sophisticated treatment of form, suggests that the statue was associated with a personality who employed only the best sculptors.
