Description

Ashanti African Maternity Figure

A very large fine Ashanti maternity figure.

The mother figure is seated on a simple backless Ghanaian Stool or ‘Asesedwa’

An infant lays calmly in her hands.

Her broad face carved in typical Bonsu fashion,

with features that are both elegant and sensuous,

complete with finely coiffed hair.

She is naked save for a series of rings around

her neck and genuine African glass beads.

An applied white encrusted patina covers the surface.
