Originally from Nigeria, this very finely sculpted and slender statue of a male Mumuye ancestor is a ritual object dating from the mid-twentieth century.
Long legs, a shorter trunk, a huge neck and a small head topped with a crest... a great look!
At Vic le Comte Samarkande, an important collection of ancient ritual objects, mainly from Africa, is on display.
