Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Statue featuring a standing figure with short legs. The torso and arms are abnormally long. The arms are flattened along the body, forming a sort of open diamond shape. The navel is prominent. The round head is projected forward and ends in a crest adorned with two metal rings. A hole left open suggests that a ring is missing. The statue is still wearing its colorful loincloth. Its neck is adorned with a plant collar held in place by a nail. The originality and rarity of this statue lies in the movement created by the artist. Indeed, the head and arms are turned as if the statue were dancing. This is extremely rare among the Chamba.
Wood, pigments, vegetable matter, metal.
Height: 44 cm
Mid-twentieth century
