Description
This statue displays a richly adorned woman with intricate and elaborate hairstyle, smoking on a large community pipe. In Igbo tradition, prominent males and females were often portrayed sitting on a chair. The actual base is slightly hollowed out, so the statue could have also been used as a helmet mask, but this is unlikely because of the extremely heavy weight of it. Prominent scarification marks adore body and face, with elaborate jewellery displayed around the neck..
