Early 20th C. African Pende Wood Figure - Elder Female

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Central Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pende peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A lovely elder female figure hand-carved from hard wood. The female presents her forward-leaning pose with a conical lower body dressed in a skirt held by a knotted cord, delineated arms draped along her abdomen, and a slender neck. Her exaggerated head displays recessed coffee-bean-shaped eyes, contoured cheek bones, full lips, a flared nose, and cupped ears, all beneath a finely-incised coiffure with a slender top knot. Her advanced age is depicted by her raised clavicle bones and shoulder blades, sunken facial features, and pendulous breasts, and her body is covered in a gorgeous dark-brown patina. Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 2.125" W x 6.75" H (5.4 cm x 17.1 cm); 7.375" H (18.7 cm) on included custom stand.
