Provenance
For the Fang, the guardians of the relics were considered both as children and
as older men. Thus, a number of sculptures have childish features. Perceptible
here, this phenomenon expresses itself by the swollen stomach, the umbilical
hernia, the stylized eyes, often round, evoking the wide-open regard of the
small child, and by the proportions of the statues whose "size of the
torso, the large size of the head, the disproportionately small
flexed legs...are precisely of an infantile character." (J.W.Fernandez).
