Lobi bateba figures, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast 6 3/4" (figure on the left), 6" (figure on the right) wood, pigment
The figure on the left shows some signs of age and use. The figure on the right does not, but is from a Lobi carver that I've seen several other older and used examples from. This particular carver is identifiable by the unique way he carves the hands of his figures.
