These figures are part of the Moba sculptural tradition, characterised by extreme stylisation and a reduction of forms to their essentials. This refined aesthetic emphasises the verticality and internal tension of the body. These sculptures, often associated with ancestors, are placed in domestic or ritual spaces, where they act as supports for protection and mediation with invisible forces.
