WEST AFRICA
GHANA OR IVORY COAST
Beautiful and charming colonial style statue
Probably Ashanti
Sculpture representing an elegant seated woman
In a ceremonial attitude, she is adorned with her jewels, ring, necklace and bracelets
The style of stool is reminiscent of those of the Ashanti, but not being a specialist in West African art or the "colonial" style, I'll let you be the judge.
