Representations of pregnant women are equally considered maternity in the African statuary. Simple comb and neck rings, symbol of beauty, typical of women of this ethnic group. Mouth and eyes painted in white, whose meaning we do not know, possibly related to some ritual practice. Dark and ancient patina.
