I offer you this exceptional Ikenga Igbo statue, representing a warlord sitting on his throne and wearing the attributes of his rank: the cane and the oliphant.
The superb openwork headdress is composed of a sophisticated interlacing of animals: snakes, buffaloes, monkeys...
Beautiful black and white patina, a crack on the base, wear and old patina of use, these fetishes are placed on personal altars, to bring success and achievement in the material, social and political.
Rare in this quality of sculpture! Plinth, total height 31 cm
