Description
wood, black encrusted patina in some areas,
As central motif this “iphri” shows the typical beast whose front is dominated by a massive teeth-revealing mounth. Teeth epitomize aggressive strength.
Thus the figure fulfils its function, because an “iphri” is the embodiment of all aspects of male aggression.
