Lobi figures

All of them were in my collection for some years but I've never showed them, yet.
The bigger one is 38 cm high and clearly shows a remarkable age.
They all came from Thomas Waigel collection.

Venavi figures

(Again…)
The Venavi family in my collection is growing… these are the items from the last year of acquisitions.
A lot of examples have been field collected by the friend Franco Lucato in Lomé (Togo) in the recent years. The couple in the home-shrine came from Christian Siegenthaler (Ger).































A very strange and unusual type… maybe Nigerian?
