FIGURE OF A MAN, palm wood, Africa, 19th century (?)

Figure of a standing man. A fancy headdress, a knotted chin and genitals, and lumps covering the body and face, possibly scars, are clearly marked. The man makes an interesting gesture - he rests his hands on his stomach, which may be related to fertility. The figure could have been used as a cult.
