Marcel Lheureux, France

Marcel Lheureux was a French medical doctor who traveled in the Agni-Sanwi region in the 1920s, where he developed a great interest in the terracottas found there. He collected a large group of Krinjabo heads and also full figures. In 1932, he deposited a record of his conclusions regarding the terracottas at the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. His collection was probably the largest outside of Africa (Guy van Rijn 2008).		 H: 5.9 inch 2500 EUR / 5000 EUR
