Gemstone Sculpture – Ethiopians with a Sword
A standing warrior carved from several gemstones, with a striped headdress, a shield on one arm and a curved sword in the other hand, on a turned stone base. The whole anatomy is accurate, and so are the costume and the weaponry; the stance is firm and the gaze direct. The composition is weighty, and the base adds to that solidity.
Dimensions: height 25 cm × width and depth 8 cm
