Phemba Maternity Figure Kongo
The theme of motherhood in traditional African art. Feminine statue celebrating women not only for her fertility for her ability to interact with spirits. Standing figure standing dynamically leaning forward.
The child seems rather hidden from the viewer.
The eyes are encrusted with glass to breathe life. The breathtaking details will delight fans of Congo coins: ears, headdress, many scarifications.
