Older ancestor statue, SENOUFO, Ivory Coast, 1930-50

Beautiful ancestor statue carved by a craftsman in an old style. Stylistically correct but not used tribally. Still a high level cut statue!! The lower lip had a chip and has been professionally restored almost invisibly. Good condition, see the photos!!
