A male Attie sculpture, Ivory Coast, sitting on a tool, the two hands are resting near the waist, his thick cylindric neck carries his oval shaped head, that welcomes strong and determined features, while his mouth slightly pinched at each corner, and eyes staring straight ahead. The hairdo is pulled back in two discs, then falls back into a pony tail, the face, front and back of the body are covered with rounded scarifications, sign of beauty and status; some wear throughout the sculpture, signs of use, thick ritual patina, large crack at the bottom, and through the middle of the body, the left hand is cracked off. Certificate of origin and provenance.
