Queen Mbalia Camara Queen Mbalia Camara was a twin or a fellani as called in the Susu tribe Which neighbors the Mandingo tribe of Guinnea Conakry in West Africa,It Is her unique hair style that inspired the sculptor of this Sculpture, which has since exchanged many hands enroute to the U.S.A, where it now rests at Zizini of Cape Cod Massachusetts. What drew me to this sculpture is its resemblance to the Native American style, which reminds us of the close connections mankind had yet separated by wide oceans!.\ Many African Sculptors do not sign their work!... this sculptor was no different. So We have no way of telling who the Artist was, but fortunately we know who the sculpture represents!, I learned from a friend , the famous quote of his daughter, a very young girl who is an Artist, that the Art seizes to belong to the Artist when it is finished!.....perhaps those African Artists knew that, all along and did not care for the credit of the work as we do in the western hemisphere!.....but just for their contribution to history!.\ This work of Art was carved out of mahogany wood and touched up with some color in some parts of its anatomy to bring the lifelike feeling this sculpture evokes to the viewer!.\ \ This sculpture stands 38 inches tall and 12 inches high, weighs 58.5 lbs,made from African Mahogany $ 500.00
