"Dancing in the Heat" African Figurine Sculpture Posing With Her Large Leaf Fan

About the Item

This African figure sculpture, posing with her large leaf fan, could be titled "Dancing in the Heat" by viewers feeling the joyful life this delicate statue conveys. Her fluid short A-Line yellow dress, adorned with geometric blue and brown motifs, adds a touch of playfulness to her whimsical demeanor, further enhanced by her short haircut, The sculptor captured a graceful dance movement, visible through her hands placed on the opposite hip of her balancing leg as if she were in the midst of a choreographed dance step. Her other hand holds a large leaf that she may use as a fan.

Every gesture and sweep emits a unique emotion, as if the two dancers were sharing a whispered conversation, inviting the viewer to witness their intimate exchange. By taking this sculpture home...
