This Lobi couple is classic and presents several beautiful details: the toning on the sides for the male and the bowl cut for the female, the faces with lowered eyelids, straight noses, horizontal lips in the form of two parallel lines, "V" shaped breasts and prominent navel as often among the Lobi.
On the back, note the nice treatment of the shoulder blades.
