"SONGYE POWER STATUE - NKISHI - DRC (FORMER ZAIRE) Upper LOMAMI region
This magnificent statue was collected by Doctor MUTEBA's family in the 50's. The face is very naturalistic, with a circular, laughing mouth. The sculpted headdress is very beautiful.
Also noteworthy is the treatment of the hands, on which the fingers are well separated, resting on the prominent abdomen. The deep patina is smooth and remarkable.
Provenance Docteur MUTEBA, then Private Collection of a French Diplomat stationed in Congo - Appraisal DULHOSTE / M. DARTEVELLE".
