Product description
Decorative West African figurative sculpture made of cast metal and hand-painted. The sculpture depicts a support figure with raised arms balancing a load on its head—a motif often found in 20th-century West African studio productions.
The expressive pose, stylized body shapes, and contrasting use of color give the piece a powerful visual presence. This type of object was made as decorative studio art and is popular in ethnically inspired and eclectic interior styles.
