Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $200**

West Africa, Nigeria, Igbo peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden Ikenga fetish figure of an intriguing form with a flared base, 4 curved 'arms' extending from the narrow midsection, and a minimalist visage protruding from the front. The brown-hued figure dons a large headdress with trios of ovoid nodules bearing linear motifs on each side as well as a pair of openwork, crescent-shaped horns on top. Simplified forms of ikenga figures are depicted as horns attached to a wooden block, with the horns symbolizing the aggression of male animals. This is a more realized figure with three-dimensional details carved on all sides that was perhaps meant to be placed atop a personal altar. Size: 3.7" L x 4.5" W x 7.875" H (9.4 cm x 11.4 cm x 20 cm)

Provenance: ex-Nick Poolos collection, Adeon Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, USA acquired before 1970
