Condition

Good condition overall. Wear consistent with age and use within the culture. The proper right side of the figure shows two open but stable cracks to the torso and the head. To the same side the forearm is missing as well as the rear of the foot. The proper left side of the figure is very well preserved except for an old patinated lack of wood behind the calf. Exceptional nuanced glossy patina.

Cette statue Lobi se distingue par sa coiffure en casque, typique des anciens guérisseurs teése. L'influence du style archétypal teése se retrouve également dans l'élégance de la silhouette élancée, dans le dynamisme de la posture - accentué par les bras libérés du corps et les masses musculaires rythmant la composition -, et par le soin accordé au rendu des détails anatomiques, dont en particulier la - rare - figuration des genoux. La très belle patine nuancée et lisse confirme cette ancienneté.
