This is a lovely African art sculpture of a mother and infant breastfeeding. According to the appraiser this is a “vintage Fanti carved mother and child group Akuaba area of Southern Ghana, 20th Century. The carved hardwood figure depicting a mother and nursing child seated on a stool, the back with incised markings and with white highlights throughout.”
This sweet work has some non-separating cracking on the bottom of her feet (see images).
She has an appraised insurance value of $250. I am asking $195.00 for her. If you are interested in purchasing her please contact me
This piece is part of my collection of breastfeeding artwork from around the world. For years I have collected breastfeeding art from around the world, and I have a large collection of statues depicting the mother / child nursing relationship from many countries. You can see them all in the last picture; if you are interested in a particular piece drop me a line and let me know.
