Additional Information: A prominent standing Hemba male with gorgeous patina and signs of age.  The exagerated size of the head an the slender body also indicate the hand of an attentive Hemba carver.  The stark, chiseled jawline and beard give character to this respectable carving.   Recommended Reading: Nooter, M.
