Africa. Nigeria. Important and rare Kuyu statue. The Kuyu statues are characterized by long bodies abundantly decorated with scarifications whose relief is accentuated by polychromy. Certain motifs covering the arms could evoke a snake skin, a protective animal, while others, adorning the hairstyle, represent cowries, a symbol of fertility and prosperity. H. 84cm.
