Description:

Carved from very heavy, dense wood, on offer from our personal collection is this outstanding ancestor figure from the Bangwa peoples of the Cameroon region.

Befitting the tribal queen she represents, she is adorned with jewelry indicating her royal status, including a collar & neck rings, bracelets, & anklets, & in each hand, she clutches a power object. Depicted singing, the statue's characteristic stance & pose is classic in form with her open mouth, stocky legs bent at the knees, prominent breasts, & bulbous buttocks.

All items carefully packed & shipped after payment received & cleared via PayPal. Unless otherwise specified in the item description, shipping to the U.S. will generally be via USPS Priority Mail, USPS Parcel Post, or UPS. Expedited shipping upgrade is available & optional.

Seller not responsible for any damages incurred during shipping nor for any Customs-related fees for non-U.S. shipments.

Despite a few imperfections in the wood, this marvelous sculpture is in very good overall condition. A residue of pigment remains on her ears. Superb encrusted patina. Splendid display.
