Fertility figure in the Kaya style, from the Mossi people in Burkina Faso. Completely hand carved out of wood, with a beautiful, smooth, dark patina. The lines cut into the figure represent braids, characteristic facial scars, as well as breast and belly scars, which are only worn by women. Very nice original condition.

Recommendation for buying vintage furniture.
A design furniture piece from that era is different from a reproduction.
The furniture was perfect in our booth — we will always rent with you when we are in Basel!
