Description
Les visages stylisés sont portés par des corps sexués, féminin d'un côté, masculin de l'autre, avec des jambes puissantes, pliées à angle droit, entre lesquelles se projette un sexe surdimensionné. Le traitement se distingue par une gravure profonde, mettant en valeur des traits aux dessins anguleux : épais sourcils arqués traités selon une ligne continue, yeux aux paupières saillantes, court nez triangulaire, bouche prognathe. Belle patine sombre, croûteuse.
Condition Note: Extrémité des pieds cassée, recollée
