Agni dignitary figure
€340.00
Agni statuary is part of the corpus of African art from Côte d'Ivoire. We find on this beautiful female statue imbued with dignity a long ringed neck of the most beautiful effect. The blackish patina is lustrous, the details have been the subject of meticulous work as have the anatomical elements.
These characteristics illustrate the main concern of the sculptors of this ethnic group, as well as the Baoulé and others, namely, aesthetic perfection.
This interest responds to ritual obligations explained by the supposed need for beautiful pieces to attract the spirits and genies of the bush.
