African Stylized Female Figure with Beads Strung on Hide.

She is ~12¾" tall, ~5¼" across her hair, 4¾" across her arms; weight is 202 grams. There is no signature, nor other ID markings.

Note the two-bar symbol on the back of her head...it'll be a reference for my next post in Tribal Art.

Can a region or tribe be confidently assigned to this effigy? Is it tourist art, or has it other, genuine significance? Thanks!

 

tourist art....1980;s.....or later...
