Catalogue Note
Le personnage se distingue par la coiffure en casque, "typique des anciens guérisseurs teése" [...] avec de petites tresses retombant sur les épaules" (Bognolo, 2007, p. 132). L'influence du style archétypal Teése se retrouve également dans l'élégance de la silhouette élancée, dans le dynamisme de la posture - accentué par les bras libérés du corps et les masses musculaires rythmant la composition -, et par le soin accordé au rendu des détails anatomiques, dont en particulier la - rare - figuration des clavicules. Voir Bognolo (idem, pl. 57) pour une effigie d'ancêtre arborant la même coiffure stylisée, attribuée à la région de Kampi, village ayant accueilli les descendants du sculpteur Teésé le plus célèbre, Palé Beniathe, né au début des années 1800 ; et Dulon (2004, p. 71) pour une statue détaillant de la même manière les clavicules.
