Full original description
A woman's figure breastfeeding her child, longline and detached that breaks with the ballet aesthetic canons. The figure of the child is very rough and poorly profiled, something common in African art that tries to give all the prominence and importance to the woman, to the woman who is a mother, the child is secondary. Two necklaces made of pink ceramic beads adorn neck and waist. Statue on a base of the same piece.
