Legend
This extremely pure sculpture was reproduced in several scientific or prestigious publications. This is one of Jane Tercafs' masterpieces. Odani was one of the artist's favourite models. Is this really a portrait of Odani or another model? Did she improve on or idealise Odani's features? Odani (or Odane) was the daughter of Atoro, a priest, and of one of the wives of Niapu, chief of the Medje-Mangbetu, Tercafs claimed.
