La triangulation propre à l'art des sculpteurs Lobi est accentuée sur cette statue bateba par le rendu schématique des volumes corporels, et par leur surface épannelée. A la puissance de la sculpture répond celle de l'expression - yeux mi-clos inscrits dans des orbites creusées, pommettes saillantes, bouche prognathe. Patine brune, nuancée, grumeleuse.

Provenance

Fred Jahn, Munich, 1993
