Summary[edit]

Description The figure's coiffure, forehead tattoo marks and pierced ears, which originally may have held ear ornaments, convey essential traits of feminine beauty. The execution of the human form as a series of swelling forms suggests the innovative approach of a gifted artist. It may be the result of the interaction between the various groups of the Nile Uele River divide in northeastern Congo.
