A bronze statue in the style of Ife/ Tada. A female, naked figure, dressed only with a Loin cloth as a kind of hip band, arms bent in front of the small, her left hand holding a mirror, almost childlike breasts, a plaited collar. The wavy hair formed into a cone. The round eyes with heavy lids, the nose small in relation to the full lips, relatively large ears. Certificate of origin and provenance.

The narative is connected with the foundation of the Nupe based on the Tsoede Kingdom. in the Nupe villages of Tada and Jebba—one of them apparently an Ife work and another in a more recent Yoruba style. Others of this group, which include the largest castings ever made in sub-Saharan Africa, share features with Benin sculpture and have other elements that are widely distributed in on both sides of the Niger, but mainly to the east, live the Igbo. Traditionally they have lived in small and often isolated settlements scattered through the forest. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, are hereditary rulers found.

Diesmal hat die Lieferung zwar erstaunlich lange gedauert. Aber das Objekt ist top, wie beschrieben, sehr ansprechend. Und wie immer optimal verpackt.
