Catalogue Note
Attribuée par Raoul Lehuard (1989 : II, 386-387) au "style de Kingwe", cette statuette se distingue par sa rare coiffe à deux nattes obliques, et par l'élégance du visage et de la stature, dont l'élan est équilibré par les longs pieds stylisés, se fondant dans l'épaisseur de la base rectangulaire.
