H. 8 cm.

Provenance: acquired from Aaron Vecht, Amsterdam, ca. 1947; Charles Ratton, Paris, before 1940. This figurine is very akin to the one that once belonged to Carl Einstein and was published in his 'Afrikanische Kunst' (1921) pl. 43 and is now in the Rietberg Museum, Zurich. Huguette Van Geluwe wrote in an answer to a request by Aldo van Eyck dd. 6 july 1994: 'Your figurine and the one in Zurich are undoubtedly from the same hand and are like twin sisters with some small varieties, but hardly determinable.'
