Female African Maternity Statue 16.75″ – African Art

We are unsure as to the origins of this statue but believe it to be from Sub-Saharan Africa. The statue showcases a seated female figure with a child on her back. She has beautiful scarification marks on her face and body and an unusual hole through the center of her head. She measures 16.75 inches tall and weighs 3 pounds. Her upper lip has chipped and the child is missing part of it’s left arm and leg. There is cracking, chipping and scuffing throughout – please inspect photos.
