Product Description

The human form sheds its transience to become a timeless idol. This black ceramic anthropomorphic sculpture, crafted by the artist Habiba with a monumental height of 43 cm, embodies the very essence of the archaic spirituality of the Malles collection. The body, a slender silhouette that gently expands towards the base, culminates in a stylized face with a gaze directed towards infinity. Every feature of the physiognomy and the hieratic posture of the crossed arms describe a primordial artisanal gesture, free from academicism, capable of imbuing the raw clay with a vibrant ancestral soul.

The profound materiality of the dark finish, modulated by smoky grey shadows and the metallic reflections from firing under straw, gives this black ceramic anthropomorphic sculpture a hypnotic magnetism. It is not merely an ornamental object, but a unique, avant-garde piece designed to command space. This idol creates an extraordinary visual synthesis between the millennial UNESCO heritage tradition and contemporary sensibility, offering a sophisticated design accent that imposes a silent narrative. Perfect for placement in an exclusive living area, this artifact establishes a cultivated dialogue with its surroundings, enriching the atmosphere with the proud sacredness of its origins.
