A monochrome photograph depicting a multi-tiered carved wooden sculpture from South Ika, Aboh town. The object features a superior tier with two elongated anthropomorphic figures wearing cylindrical, flat-topped headpieces with vertical striations. The figures possess protruding eyes and slender torsos with central vertical grooves. The intermediate tier consists of a block-like mass with animalistic characteristics, including a snout-like structure with horizontal slits. The base is supported by four thick, rectangular pillar-like legs. The sculpture is positioned against a backdrop of dark, draped fabric with deep vertical folds.
