Light wooden figure from the Igbo people of Nigeria. The 8,000.000 IGBO people – who live primarily from farming – settled in the northern part of the Niger River Delta, in an area of forests and swamps. Village councils composed of the eldest people from each family govern the tribe. Their power is counterbalanced by secret societies. Colorful wooden Igbo figure. The figure is painted in pink with black dots. The face is covered with white clay (phembe).
Provenance: Manfred Schäfer collection, ex- gallery owner from Ulm, Germany. Including custom made stand.
