| Nyamwezi mother and child figure, Tanzania 19.5" tall wood, beads, pigment ex Jean-Pierre Hallet Collection This object was exhibited in "Native Arts of the World At Home in Colorado - The Douglas Society Collects", 2006. I really loved the movement in the carving of this particular figure. The child on her back is not your usual "static" child on a mother's back, instead the child has it's own unique character. I like how the child is holding on to the mother's arm and how the child is looking to the side like it is. The mother is holding the child's other leg and the child is grasping her other arm as well. An overall very unique and interesting object. $400 Despite its appearance, it is my opinion that this figure, although it shows some signs of age and wear, was made specifically for the collecting market. |
