Red Mother & Child – Handcrafted African Sculpture in Red | Burkina Faso
Details
A beautiful celebration of motherhood, family, and traditional African craftsmanship.
Handcrafted by Amadou, an artisan from the renowned Bronze Quarters of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, this expressive Mother & Child sculpture captures the timeless bond between a mother and her child.
The sculpture depicts a mother dressed in a flowing, textured red gown and an elegant matching headwrap, lovingly lifting her child into the air. The contrast between the deep bronze tones and vibrant red creates a striking piece that combines traditional African artistry with contemporary design.
Designed in a seated position, the sculpture rests gracefully on the edge of a decorative box, shelf, or pedestal, allowing the flowing dress to drape naturally over the front.
