Object: A Fine Abstract Miniature Mumuye Figure
Size: 6" ~
Age: Early 20th Century
Provenance: Amyaes Naegele , NYC
Notes: This is an old and unusual diminutive Mumuye figure.
The face is incredibly expressive with great attention to detail
like tiny nostrils and large ears; and the simplistic abstract
body sets this example a part from many ordinary Mumuye.
The patina is deep and varied and the areas of erosion show
old oxidized wood. Remains of old pigment on the eyes and
crevasses.
