Yoruba-style bowl, Nigeria - Lot 172
Yoruba-style bowl, Nigeria Dark brown patina oozing shine on the rider's leg Height: 23 cm Presenting two figures, one of whom is a rider. The facial features are typical and characteristic of the Yoruba, with a blunt nose and almond-shaped eyes with accentuated hemmed eyelids. The contrast between the positions of the two figures is particularly dynamic: one is on horseback, symbolizing a person of social importance and high stature, while the other is reclining, with his upper body in an original vertical position, his face held in place by his hand and bent arm. Height: 23 cm
