Mid-20th C. African Igbo Wood Ikenga Shrine Figure

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $175**

West Africa, Nigeria, Igbo peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A hand-carved anthropomorphic wooden horned shrine figure known as an Ikenga. The Ikenga is a ritualistic figure used by the Igbo society to represent masculine strength as well as the drive possessed by an individual to accomplish significant feats on their own. The majority of Ikenga figures are simplistic in form, though this example exhibits a more-realized figure. Carved three-dimensionally with fine details on all sides, the figure wears a skirt that exposes his delineated male genitalia. Each hand grasps an object, perhaps small clubs or musical instruments. Embellished in contrasting black and white hues, this is wonderful figure meant to be placed on a personal altar. Comes with custom wooden display stand. Size: 10.25" H (26 cm); 10.5" H (26.7 cm) on included custom stand.
