- Lot Description
Africa, Cameroon, southwestern or coastal Cameroon, Duala peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A fabulous pair of hand-carved wood figures, each nude, save for a hemispherical headdress, and standing atop a circular plinth. Both of the lovely figures present slender bodies with square shoulders, thin arms, and incised fingers and toes. The smaller figure is positioned with their hands together upon their chest, while the taller sculpture has the right hand on the chest and the left on their belly. Supported by an elongated neck, each figure displays a stylized visage with slender, incised eyes, a narrow nasal bridge, a bulbous nose, full lips, and a sharp chin, all flanked by a pair of petite, pointed ears. Aside from their hand positions, their headdresses also differ: the shorter figure's is adorned with a checkered pattern and the cap of the taller figure is decorated by a lattice motif. Size of largest: 5.25" L x 5" W x 18.5" H (13.3 cm x 12.7 cm x 47 cm)
Provenance: private Englewood, Colorado, USA collection; ex-Martin Boxer collection; ex-Komor Gallery, New York City, New York USA, circa 1965
