Antique Yoruba Sango Nigeria Africa Tribal Statue Sculpture Beaded Medicine Man

About the Item

This is and Antique Africa Tribal Figure Statue Sculpture. It is 30" tall. From my research it appears to be Yoruba Sango Nigeria from circa 1940's 1950s. It is made out of an armature of fabric, woven plant fiber, and what is assumed to be and internal wire covered in a woven and intricately beaded exterior. Statue is holding a beaded spear and beaded gourd pot. This artifact has a heavy patina of accumulated dirt and has not been cleaned or altered by me. This statue has a lot of presence. People seem to feel it right away when they walk into the room and find it has a powerful energy. It is striking in appearance
