An ancient male waka sona statuette, scarified on the face and body, with an imposing finely engraved bun ending in a braided mat. Its patina shows that it was once kept in a traditional cotton bag closed up to the neck. Of a lesser workmanship, it is probably a diviner's or hunter's statuette. Baule, Ivory Coast Wood, necklace and bracelet of cotton and pearls, missing headdress (old breakage), very beautiful brown and blond patina from use. H. 42 cm Provenance : Christian Debenest Collection Publication: Pierre Bergé & Associés sale - La Collection d'un Amateur - April 8, 2016, lot 131.
