Female Figure c. 20th century

This wooden sculpture, carved by an Ewe artist in the 20th century, depicts a female figure. The figure's stylized features and simplified form are characteristic of Ewe art, which is often used in religious rituals and ceremonies. The figure's dark-colored headdress and shoes suggest the use of pigment and other materials, adding dimension to the sculpture's surface. The overall style of the piece showcases the rich and unique artistic traditions of the Ewe people in West Africa.
