- Lot Description
West Africa, Ghana, Akan peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. An attractive, hand-built buffware pottery male figure seated in a dignified pose atop an openwork rectangular stool. The figure, perhaps representing a king or ancestor, sits with bent legs and wears a single sandal, holds both hands to curved knees, and dons a chain-link necklace with an ornate medallion around his ringed neck. His closed eyes and slight grin indicate he is in a state of relaxation - whether from meditation or intoxicants is unknown - and he wears a headband adorned with two impressed bosses and an upturned crescent moon. Size: 12.75" L x 7" W x 18.2" H (32.4 cm x 17.8 cm x 46.2 cm); 19.1" H (48.5 cm) on included pottery stool.
Provenance: ex-private lifetime collection of Dr. Saul Tuttman and Dr. Gregory Siskind, New York, New York, USA, acquired in the 1980s
