Caryatid Figural Stool
Makonde, Tanzania
14” height x 10” wide diameter (56cm x 40cm)
Traditional Makonde carvers often showed a haunting naturalism rare in African figural and facial depictions. This serene but confidently supportive female figure has accurate Makonde facial scarifications and a sensuous body front and back. The carving of the back is remarkably fine and life-like.
