Description
wood, base
Very coarse, in almost cubistic style carved figure with the arms producing a W-configuration. The facial features only vaguely marked by incisions.
Due to palmleaf crown and headband it is probably an ancestor figure “adu zatua”, but the figure could also have served as a protective figure, for example against diseases.
