EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable water pipe in the form of a seated female figure, created during the late 19th or early 20th century by an unknown African artist. Crafted from wood, hide, plant fiber, and adorned with glass beads, this exquisite piece is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas. The sculpture stands at an impressive height of 39.7 centimeters and exudes a sense of grace and elegance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the intricate carving on the wooden surface to the meticulous placement of each bead. Representing both artistic expression and functionality, this artifact provides us with valuable insights into West African culture. It serves as a testament to their craftsmanship and creativity while also highlighting their reverence for women. Seated serenely, this figurine captures the essence of femininity through its delicate features and poised posture. As we admire this work of art, we are transported back in time to witness not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance. Thanks to generous donors Eugene and Margaret McDermott's gift to The Clark and Frances Stillman Collection of Congo Sculpture at Dallas Museum of Art, visitors can now appreciate this extraordinary piece that bridges continents and centuries.
