Makonde maternity, Tanzania and Mozambique
17" tall
wood, pigment
$275
A mother figure depicting traditional scarifications on the face with a dignified expression seated on a traditional Makonde stool while cradling a
child.
I believe this figure was carved by a Makonde artist in a traditional style, but despite its appearance I believe that this wonderfully carved and
expressive figure was made specifically for the collecting market as it shows no real signs of age or use.
