Compact wood with natural patina.
A tall wooden Tchitcheri Sakab sculpture. The abstract human figure of these suggestive sculpture of such a large size were meant to protect the community from evil spirits. Partially buried in the ground they were usually placed in the centre of the village. Ethereal and suggestive figures, with their extreme formal abstraction, these sculptures entrust part of their charm to rough finish of the surface, often worn due to long exposure to elements and to the attaks of Xylophagous insects.
