This ethnic Yombe sculpture from Congo, Central Africa, is hand-carved from a single piece of wood. Measuring 20 cm in height with a base diameter of 8 cm, the figure retains proportions characteristic of traditional art from the region. The surface presents a warm, aged ivory tone, marked by a consistent patina and a mottled, weathered texture; dark brown and black accents highlight the base and the top of the head, suggesting intentional coloring or natural darkening over time. The finish is matte, with areas of wear revealing wood grain and texture beneath. The sculpture depicts a stylized, cross-legged human figure with elongated proportions and simplified anatomical details, typical of the Yombe tradition. Facial features are pronounced: high cheekbones, prominent mouth, and incised lines for eyes and hair. The monolithic construction and visible tool marks affirm the authenticity of its craftsmanship, while the slightly irregular, dark-stained base grounds the piece visually and symbolically.
