Description

wood, rest., base

The object shows an interesting surface structure, strongly marked by weathering.

The Kantana, formerly called Mama, settled on the Jos Plateau north of the Benue River. Besides the well-known “mangam” masks, they produce abstract figures whose function and meaning remain obscure to this day.
