This Senufo maternity figure is an antique piece by the Senufo people of West Africa. It portrays a woman seated on a stool, with a crested hairstyle and scarification on her shoulders and chest, holding two children: a theme that in African art celebrates fertility, protection and the continuity of the lineage.

The carving, with elongated lines and refined volumes, shows the distinctive style of the great Senufo sculptors. The dark patina and natural wear reveal the passage of time.

At about fifty centimeters high, it is a collector's piece for a study, a library or a lit display case. One of a kind.
