Catalogue Note
This lot was exhibited very soon after Odundo's Royal College of Art Show. An early production with a subdued form, this work demonstrates the core form from which her later works derive. A lovely early example, the piece is signed to the base with a simple signature. Odundo confirmed these early works were undated to the underside as is characteristic with her later works.
