Female sculpture with extended neck

A female figure with an elongated, ringed neck

The Versmissen female sculpture with an elongated neck depicts a figure whose ringed neck is its main distinguishing feature. This form is presented as characteristic of the artistic style of the Bassa people of Liberia. The natural woodwork accentuates the continuity of its silhouette and the expression of its volumes.

With dimensions of 22,5 x 25,5 x 101 cm, this sculpture has a particularly vertical format. Its elongated neck draws the eye and structures the overall composition. The natural color complements the material without distracting from the proportions or sculpted details of this female representation.
