Baba Nimba West African Vintage Tribal Large Carved Wooden Wood Fertility Sculpture

Item Details

Description

A vintage Baba Nimba African wood fertility standing sculpture. Exquisitely carved example of a fertility mask from the Guinea region. These masks are among the largest used in a ceremonial fashion of all African masks. Dimensions: 41"h 13.5"w 19"d. In very good vintage condition. Provenance: This African figure was from a private collection near Detroit, MI. The original owner was a gallerist and founded Hampton Gallery. He was also an actuary for the Kresge Corporation and had hundreds of original paintings, sculptures, limited edition prints, and artifacts within his personal collection. We are not certain where the original owner acquired this particular artifact but his son (who is now the executor of his estate) said it was in his father's collection since the 1970s.
