Description

wood, carver’s mark (triple grooved diamond) on the underside of the base

This figure can be stylistically attributed to the “Esubiyi” workshop. It could be a work by Esubiyi’s son, Akiode (1875-1936). A very similar figure attributed to him is illustrated in Homberger (1991), p. 36, fig. 48.
