Sculpture of a man in patinated bronze, probably from the Lobi people of Burkina Faso
The sculpture displays the typical stylised and elongated proportions characteristic of Lobi anthropomorphic figures. The austere, serene face with almond-shaped eyes and the geometric rendering of the body lend the object a strong sculptural presence. The intricate patterns and scarifications on the torso and arms demonstrate detailed craftsmanship and often symbolise status or tribal identity within the community
The Lobi people are known for their rich religious and sculptural traditions, which are closely linked to honouring and communicating with ancestors and nature spirits
