A special terracotta face of the geometric type from the Bura of Niger.
This small but graphic flat face has a beautiful russet slip with cowrie
shell shaped eyes and mouth, a wonderful cross-hatched hair style on the
back and two thumb pinches on the lower cheek area. It measures 5-1/4”
high by 3-7.8” wide and comes on a custom base.
Circa A.D. 300 -1100.
