West Africa, Burkina Faso, Mossi peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A lovely trio of hand-carved wooden fertility figures, each exhibiting an abstract columnar form atop a planar base. The first figure bears no breasts while the 2 taller figures each have a pair of pendulous breasts draped in front of their incised abdomens. The tallest and shortest figure both have crested coiffures with minimal facial features while the medium-sized figure has a petite, delineated face in front of a pair of perforated, tab-shaped ears. The Mossi peoples are well-known for their wooden dolls. Mossi dolls are typically carved by male blacksmiths and are given to girls for play and the attainment of fertility. Size of largest: 1.125" W x 8.5" H (2.9 cm x 21.6 cm)

Provenance: ex-private collection of actor Anthony Quinn and his wife Katherine, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA acquired prior to 2000
