拍品資料及來源
Selon le style le plus abouti de la statuaire Mumuye, la dynamique des volumes repose sur la libre interprétation des proportions et sur la simultanéité des axes de lecture - concave/convexe et ascendante/descendante. Se fondant dans la rondeur de la cage thoracique, signifiée de face par une brutale rupture de plan, les épaules se resserrent pour libérer l'ample geste des bras s'enroulant avec force autour des flancs creusés. A cette saisissante esthétique du mouvement, jouant à la fois sur la fluidité du geste et l'accentuation des points de rupture, répond le singulier traitement du visage. Tandis que la plénitude de la tête est renforcée par les grandes oreilles arrondies, s'impose la petite face épannelée aux traits resserrés, dont la rondeur et l'intensité sont accentuées par le maillage de scarifications.
