Hello
I recently acquired several African art objects. I would like to present them to you on this forum to help me identify them and have an idea of their value. As there are many, I will present them to you one by one.
So here is a statuette that measures 31 cm. It is made of wood with nails on the head, pearls on the neck and waist and a jute skirt.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I think it is a SONGYE statue from Zaire. Reference: L. Felix "100 people of Zaire" pages 164-165.
Re: Help ID statuette
Yeah I agree, Songye.. but to me this again is a fake.
