This portrait head of an ancestor from the Bura of Niger is beautifully
expressive and sublimely restrained. Measuring 7” high by 3” wide, it
has plaited hair and very wide-set eyes. The deep vertical furrows of
the forehead emphasizes the minimalist features in a powerful manner.
Circa A.D. 300 -1100.
