Nwamno Figure

A photograph depicting a multi-tiered vertical wooden sculpture from the Ika Igbo region. The sculpture consists of four horizontal registers: a topmost avian figure with a beak and wings resting on a geometric engraved disc, an upper tier of circumferential female figures with stylized faces and pronounced breasts, an intermediate divider, and a lower tier of circumferential female figures. The figures on the lower tier exhibit vertical linear cicatrization markings on the forehead and cheeks. The sculpture is mounted on a circular wooden base and is positioned against a background featuring a woven mat and a masonry wall.
