Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Maternity showing a woman in a seated position nursing her child. This type of maternity is rare and is called "hàrberé". It is linked to the cult of Màa. The style is powerful, and although it is only fragmentary, an intense force emanates from it. The style is particularly vigorous and expressive. I invite you to look at the photos to see the missing parts.
The pedestal has been cleverly added to give this statue a new grandeur.
Terracotta with earthy patina, missing parts
Height: 26.5 cm
Lobi people, Burkina Faso.
