Description: | This cylindrical standing figure is unsophisticated in form and displays a protruding navel. The modest facial features show incised lines to indicate the hair and two horizontal lines across the forehead. The encrustation of the surface is caused by anointing with medicine, in this case a gruel of roots, barks, seeds, oil, salt and water, and a powder known as mbagu'.
