Azande ivory

Figure of a woman, carved from a single piece of ivory. From the Uele region, this fine and quite Azande ivory will make a nice addition to your collection.

I bought it a few years ago from a small private collection, and sold it to a private Dutch collector then, asking me to warn me the day he would like to sell it back. He did so and I was glad to buy it back. What is interesting to this ivory is the fact it has two pairs of eyes . This has probably a mystic explanation, like looking in the spirits world, or in the future. see a closer image of the face below this page.

From the Azande you usually see ivory horns, and basketry, complete ivory figures are quite seldom.

H= 20,5 cm, one of the foots has been broken and glued again as you can see on the image if you look closely.
