About the Item
This finely carved mid-twentieth century figurative sculpture, from the Pare culture in Tanzania, depicts a female with large, prominent ears. Standing in a proud, upright stance, she gently rests her hands on her stomach.
This wooden figure features a cavity located at the top of the head. Used during rituals to empower the figure, this cavity served to give protection and good health.
The figure has been decorated with strands of coloured glass beads, and exhibits a dark surface patina which is oily in parts.
