Late 19th Century Kenyan Carved Ancestral Female Figure

Late 19th Century Kenyan Carved Ancestral Female Figure

Late 19th century Kenyan carved ancestral female figure, on later stand.

Interestingly, the head is completely free from woodworm.

Parts of the body, well eaten over the years.

Timber’s in one piece can vary.

Sapwood is always devoured by woodworms, the harder grain is usually untouched.

Possibly a fertile blessing given to a woman, showing the beauty of an African female figure, ready to bear children.
