| Description |
We can only wonder what tribal life must
have
been like many years ago. Yet the
sculptures that
are available show us the beauty of the
people
who belonged to these tribes.
This tall and slender male has an oval
shaped
face with stylized features. Yet his
entire face is
in perfect symmetry. He wears a V-shaped
headdress on his head. His chin is
pointed and a
ribbed object protrudes out from it. His
limbs are
long making him look very graceful, and
his
small hands give him delicacy. Gently
draped
around his middle is a simple loin
cloth, adding a
primitive style to him, but keeping him
very
elegant and graceful, often difficult to
create in a
wooden sculpture.
