| Bwa female figure |
| A highly expressive Bwa female figure 13" tall wood, pigment early to mid 20th century Provenance - Matarengo Gallery, Paris Ex private French collection This figure was originally sold as "Mossi" and I've had it on my website listed as a Mossi chief's figure for a while, but in doing research I've come to the conclusion that the figure is most likely from the Bwa peoples. Figures like this were used for protection and also used by diviners. I especially love the exaggerated shoulder representation and the expressive face on this particular figure. |
