Mangbetu Exposition Coloniale 1931 sculpture / mascot
Metal on marble sculpture of a Mangbetu lady.
Probably edited for French colonial exhibition fair in 1931.
As you can see on my pictures, a strong mounting on the marble, uncommon for such sculptures, reason that make me think that this one was used as car hood ornament / mascot.
20cm high.
