Figurine Statue
What is this statue?
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/teamargus/detail?.dir=mail&.dnm=abfare2.jpg My friend has this figurine statue, and we are trying to find it’s origines or what it is of.
I’m not able to access the picture. You might want to save it to your desktop, upload it to an image-sharing site like imageshack.us, and then repost your question.
edit: Byourownjudge has it right. It’s a mother kneeling and it has African origins. Maternity figures are very important in African culture, and the kneeling mother in particular is a popular sculptural topic. In fact, if you do a google image search for kneeling mother, 5 of the first 8 results are of African sculptures.
