A male Lobi sculpture of a nearly unknown carver; standing on partly fragmentary feet, short, slightly bent legs beneath an elongated torso with a characteristically angular breast and shoulder, the neck is short and the head ovoid, a retangular, twoparted mouth beneath a saddle-nose, framed by heavy lidded eyes and u-shaped ears; heavy, hard wood with greyish surface. We have collected eight of these figures - probably from the same master - last year.

A fragmentary sculpture of this
carver or carver-school appeared on April
2007 in Segovia, Spain. It was probably the first
sculpture of nearly hundered, which appeared
in the same year on the Western market.
