Mud Figures of Chief, Attendants, and Commissioner of Police
A photograph depicting a series of humanoid figures composed of molded clay or similar material, arranged on a raised earthen platform within a semi-enclosed structure. The assemblage includes a seated figure in a military-style hat and jacket, a prominent seated figure in a patterned long-sleeved garment and flared skirt, and standing figures with bare torsos wearing necklaces and wrap-around lower garments. The figures are positioned under a roof of organic materials, with a central unhewn wooden post and a textured vertical mass in the foreground. The composition highlights the staged presentation of these figures, which represent a Chief, his attendants, and a Commissioner of Police in North Ika.
