Description:
|
|
A miniature vessel rises from the figure’s abdomen. Bowl-figures representing a male or female were used to drink or pour libations of beer or palm wine during ceremonies related to masquerades, agricultural celebrations, and funeral rituals. The form of the bowl recalls that of a halved gourd, which was used as a drinking vessel. This example is from Nigeria.
