A Lovely Senufo seated figure, Senufo; Ivory Coast
Possibly cut from the top of a Champion cultivator's staff, or a small Tyekpa figure; the seated female beautifully carved in classical Senufo style with high raised coif, braids falling to the sides, pretty face with abstracted body and sinuous libs sitting on a stool, excellent blackened patina and high-point wear. A lovely example. H. 11"
