A large and impressive old Pende female ancestor sculpture with well weathered surface and shown with one had to her breast, perhaps suggesting a fertility idol. The hard wood sculpture was painted with red mineral pigments and kaolin clay. The figure has eroded and weathered areas suggesting age and field use as a shrine idol. The figure has been professionally custom mounted and measures 50.5 inches on its base.Provenance: The Dr Brian Healy estate, New York.
