Description :

The Human Figure

The left figure has the posture and stylization of a small carved idol or votive figurine. A few features stand out:

  • A frontal, upright stance, typical of ritual or ceremonial figures

  • A headdress or hair cap that frames the face

  • Simplified but expressive facial features

  • A compact, almost amulet‑like size

Objects like this often served as:

  • Household protective figures

  • Ancestor representations

  • Small devotional carvings

  • Grave goods

The style suggests a culture that valued symbolic representation over anatomical realism.

The Bird Figure

The right figure is a stylized bird perched on a patterned base. Its upright posture and strong silhouette give it a sense of importance.

Key traits:

  • A forward‑facing, alert stance

  • A broad chest and defined beak

  • A decorated pedestal, which implies ritual or symbolic use

Bird carvings like this commonly represent:

  • Messengers between the earthly and spiritual worlds

  • Symbols of protection or guidance

  • Totemic animals tied to clans or deities

The geometric base adds to the sense that this wasn’t just decorative — it meant something to the people who made it.



Dimensions : 3.5-6 in H
