Les jambes fléchies, les mains posées sur le haut des cuisses, les seins et l'abdomen projetés vers l'avant et enfin la tête relevée suggèrent un corps en mouvement. A la dynamique de la pose (rendue par les volumes anguleux inclinés en profondeur), répond la force du visage épannelé, entièrement envahi de scarifications linéaires. Belle patine d'usage, sombre et profonde, brillante sur les parties saillantes.
Condition
Wear consistent with age and use within the culture. The end of the nose is restaured. The left ear lobe is broken-glued. Few cracks and losses.
