Catalogue Note
Juxtaposition des plans, accentuation des points de rupture, jeu de ryt.mes s successifs : au vocabulaire remarquable de la désormais "classique" statuaire Mumuye, s'ajoute ici le visage déployé dans l'espace, saisissant par l'intensité de l'expression. Belle patine d'usage, profonde, avec rehauts de kaolin.
