Description

wood, base

Only very few figures are known from the Vere. The earliest collected examples, three female figures, entered the British Museum in London in 1913.

In 2005 Fardon and Stelzig published some figures from the Jos Museum in Nigeria and from the collection of Karl-Ferdinand Schädler (Fardon and Stelzig 2005, p.123). This figure could be from the same hand or workshop as these figures.
