This figure has been vetted as being authentic.
This figure is in good condition, with the painted details intact. The three-part hairdo has lost a tip and has a clearly repaired break (see detail below).
This piece, with distinctive Fante style of carving and color, is most likely a shrine figure. It has a typical Fante hairstyle worn by women either during ceremonies or after a woman has a baby and is out in public for the first few times celebrating her role as a mother and having a live birth. ---- Dan Mato
