Full original description
Blolo bla or female statue that perfectly repeats the canons of the ballet aesthetic: An important navel, because it is the image of the transmission of life and also represents the ancestor. The head, the seat of the intellect, is usually large and the legs short and strong to withstand the march and bear the weight of the person. Pumped beam, arms folded to the body by the elbows to be placed around the navel. Beautiful patina. Statue acquired in Abidjan in the mid-sixties.
