Moba statue - Togo

The Moba people live in northern Togo. This type of piece is called a tchitcheri. It represents an ancestor symbolized by a human body with an abstract face. It is initially planted in the ground. The legs, in contact with the ground, are sometimes eroded or missing. Its main function is to protect the community. But its role doesn't stop there. This type of statue has curative virtues and brings prosperity.
