The figure clearly with strong pende influence pointing to a Kasai or Kwilu-Kwango origin among the Chokwe of D.R. Congo; the figure seated in Kasai style with elbows resting on bent knees, the face with typical Chokwe features, the figure sitting on an integral base with remains of a Chihongo mask (?) at the front. The whole with remains of red pigment. A fine old figure. H. 10"
