Losso figure, Koumea area

Another Losso figure in my collection: it's an old 27 cm high statue from Koumea area (according to Pierre Amrouche in his book on Lamba/Losso sculpture already quoted), formerly in Sylvain Pette collection and, before, in Huguenin gallery in Paris.






Here are some other examples of the same type from Amrouche's book and from Yale archive:
