Description
GHANA Ashanti commemorative head, Ghana Terracotta with light ochre slip Size : 10,5 x 10 cm. 4,1 x 4 in. Face with half-closed coffee bean eyes, the straight nose naturalist, the mouth half-opened. The neat hairstyle is made of a succession of small curls, placed in two distinct areas on the skull, which is otherwise otherwise left short. Although idealized, this face is considered, by the hair and scarification detail, as a portrait. Placed in a sacred place, it was intended to maintain contact with the contact with the ancestors. Beautiful grainy material. Expert : Emmanuelle MENUET
