Cultual figure - Punu - Gabon - SOLD OUT

The Punu African statues meet relatively rarely and are little known compared to the very famous black and white masks.
Here, the character is sitting cross-legged. Their use is apparently intended to protect their owner.
The head of the statue is very similar to the white Okuyi masks. Front scarification in rhombus.
