This is the rating and price for African Congo Carved Wood Fetish Figure



Description : Congo, Africa, 20th century. Carved, wooden fetish figure of stylized form with thick round base below. Hands carved to extended belly, open loops under armpits and indication of male genitalia. The drop shaped head bears a squared chin, relief moon shaped lips framing open mouth, flat triangular nose, and ovular eyes with rounded forehead and receding hairline behind. Note the expressive visage and positioning of the body with large, pantomime-like hands and feet. Perhaps this figure is singing or engaged in a spiritual ritual. 10T Provenance: Ex-Robert Pearson Collection All items in this auction have been legally acquired, are legal to sell, and guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
