Collected 2009, my desktop, Hotel Hala, Gaoua

A Lobi sculpture shows a certain similarity in relation to the torso, arms, legs and feet, also the ears have nearly the same shape. Different the fascial features and the back of the head. Is it the same carver, who has made variations of his carvings or is this sculpture from a different period? Or is this figure made by another carver from the same workshop?
