    Description

    Anthropomorphic statue showing a standing ancestor. The face is inscribed in a diamond, the arms and shoulders form an arc of a circle pointing downwards, and the torso and lower part are in an inverted Y. It is a very geometric and very crude sculpture. The polychromy is still present and highlights the shape of this statue. The holes on the body, arms and legs must have contained seeds. These statues were used during initiation rites.
    Wood, pigments.
