Very fine female from Egbe
Very old female carved in a workshop located in Egbe, in the Yagba tribe territory. The coiffure is composed of five braids gathered up and stained with Reckitt paint. The hands are touching together laying on the abdomen, like all the Ibeji from Egbe. The face presents some wear due to the mothernal caresses and the body still has some coverage of a darker camwood patina. Some losses due to termites witness the old age of this beautiful statuette.
Ibeji Art offers an unconditional guarantee of authenticity on the Ibeji sold because they are always accompanied by the Expertise of Fausto or Mauro Polo. READ MORE...
