Pestle or stick ? in wood and feathers. The small convex ovoid head has circular eyes sculpted on each side of the face. The wide open mouth is framed by scarification marks at the corners of the mouth. The dynamism of the long arms is rendered by the shoulders carried forward, while the elbows are drawn back. The arms are blended into the long abdomen with its bulbous navel. The lower part of the body merges into the base of the drumstick, whose wood is very dry. Chamba style - Nigeria Height: 44 cm
