Small statue of ancestor. The statues Lobi Bateba or bouthiba
(trad: the remedies which murmur obscure words) are alive and
crowned beings, true features of union between the real world and that
of beyond.
This old staue is a male representation. A high face grants
a hieratic
air to him, the eyelids are falling.
The raised arm is characteristic of this type of sculptor.
The sculpture is rough. Miss matter in several place due to
termtites.
