Queen Mother

This striking hardwood sculpture features a seated female figure, distinguished by an expansive, vertically oriented headdress intricately carved with symbolic bird motifs and geometric borders. The face is adorned with detailed scarification patterns on the cheeks and forehead, representing high social standing and beauty. With a rich, reddish-brown mahogany finish and an elongated, ringed neck, this piece exhibits classical Asante-inspired aesthetics. The figure is integrated into a circular, etched base, making it a sturdy and culturally rich addition to any collection.
