Archaic anthropomorphic post Hardwood, remnants of white pigment, very old erosion and wear marks Tiv culture, Nigeria, probably 19th century or earlier 99 x 15 cm This anthropomorphic post was planted in the ground, in connection with domestic or ritual space. The standing female figure is frontal and stable, with simplified forms that reinforce her presence. The face, with its soothed features, evokes a protective function, possibly linked to an ancestral or tutelary figure. The overall effect is one of sobriety and verticality.
