Statuette sculpted from dense, shiny ebony wood, representing a woman standing in prayer, hands joined in front of her chest. The silhouette is refined and stylized, in the tradition of decorative African sculpture. The bell-shaped dress flares out to the round base. The face with simple yet expressive features is topped with a rounded headdress. The wood shows beautiful warm reflections under the light. Hand-carved ebony wood. Approximate height: 15-20 cm. Stabilized round base. African artisan work, 1960s-1980s. Good overall condition, normal wear consistent with age. Placed on a desk, shelf, or console, this statuette brings a silent and contemplative presence. It naturally pairs with other African sculptures or a contemporary interior seeking a unique focal point.
