This is a wooden statue from the Turkana people of Kenya (East Africa). There are various theories about its purpose, such as warding off evil spirits or serving as an amulet for safe childbirth. It's a small size, approximately 16cm tall. This is a one-of-a-kind piece, hand-carved and decorated with beads, shells, and leather. The bold, unpretentious design is the charm of African art.
