Ituri Pygmie Woman with wood

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a handcrafted figurine of a person standing on a small square base with a textured green surface, designed to mimic grass or earth. The figurine is made of what appears to be clay or a similar material and is depicted with a neutral expression. The person is adorned with a beaded necklace and a short, rust-colored cloth resembling a traditional skirt, covering the torso's midsection. The figure's posture is relaxed but attentive, holding a bundle of sticks tied together with a string in one hand, which suggests that it may represent a scene from a rural or traditional lifestyle. The background is a plain, light surface without any distinct features, which places the focus entirely on the carefully crafted and textured figurine, emphasizing its detailed artistry and cultural representation.
