Description:
A striking pair of tall, slender hand-carved wood sculptures depicting stylized female figures. Each figure features an elongated neck, a characteristic trait in various West African artistic traditions, particularly among the Ngbaka or Lobi peoples. The sculptures are carved with minimalist facial features and prominent, high-set breasts. Their lower bodies are adorned with multiple carved bands or rings around the hips, likely representing traditional waist beads or scarification.
