Description

wood, base

The front of the figure shows a thickly encrusted sacrificial patina, especially on the body. There is a cup-shaped hole in the crown for insertion of magical mass.

The figure was originally located in Cameroon (Duala). Coppens considered an origin from Gabon, possibly from the Kande (Okandé) of the middle Ogowe region more likely.

A clear geographic / ethnic assignment of the figure seems difficult to us.
