MATERNITY FIGURE

AFO, NIGERIA
WOOD, HEIGHT 82CM

This statue is embellished with very heavy encrustation, an indication of it’s regular usage and importance to the people. It represents the ancestral mother sitting on a stool with three children. The statue was worshipped at various gatherings with the men praying for fertility for their wives. The encrustation makes it look quite rough and almost unfinished, but there are plenty of intricate details and markings visible through the surface.
