About the Item

Tutsi tribe artist Ndatite Ilo from Rwanda carved this gorgeous African wood statue sculpture. This unique artwork features a beautiful black woman, often depicted as a Mother or Madonna, carrying a baby. The spectacular, rangy shape features fine detailing, delicate carving, and a wonderful facial expression. The rare sculpture rests on a custom-made wood base covered with red velvet. The hand-engraved artist's signature, which reads NDATITE ILO - EAA NYUNDO, is located on the underside. The sculpture was crafted circa the early 20th Century, and the provenance is from a private collection in Europe. Reference: EAA Nyundo is a Decorative Arts School in Nyundo. Nyundo is a Community in the Rubavu district of the western province of Rwanda, on the Sebeya River to the east of Gisenyi.
