Mythical sculpture of a hybrid man-ape figure, 20th century

Descriptio Cast bronze. Dimensions: 62 × 21 × 27 cm. An extraordinary sculpture representing a mythological creature, half man and half ape, an ancient symbol of the duality between human and animal. The piece stands out for its expressive power and the quality of its modeling, which conveys dynamism and contained tension. Its surface has a rich patina that enhances the volumes and depth of the relief. An enigmatic and symbolic work, possibly inspired by African traditions or contemporary interpretations of the myth.
