Full original description
Beautiful statuette of a Lobi woman. The woman is the center of the Lobi society, where the matrilineal regime prevails for the transmission of heresy and wealth, although for the use of the land governs the patriotic regime. The proportions are perfect and of great beauty when compared to the usual aesthetics of the Lobi statues, quite rustic and unexpressive. This is a young woman, with little developed breasts. Elegant touch for a Lobi. Prominent navel, common in Africa. Arms extended along the body, but separated, only hands touch hips. He's missing one foot.
