Description
-
This is a simple work of a richly colored woman featuring a geometric face with oval eyes, a triangle nose, and a prominent square mouth. The sculpture has African origins, yet the specific ethnic group is unknown because of the lack of body markings and hair adornments. The sculpture has a glossy finish.
