About the Item
A pair of African carved wood and cloth ancestral figures from Nigeria. Meant to be sold as a pair, these ancestral figures are meant to convey the achievements of those they represent. Wooden figures were carved for both male and female ancestors.
The Igbo (or Ibo) people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Hailing from the southeast and south central areas of Nigeria, they are located on either side of the Niger. These wonderful wooden sculptures are a great example of Igbo art and African art overall. Not only do they represent a honored tradition as part of the Igbo society, they also detail an important piece of African history.
Purchase as a set.
