Shrouded in mystery, the purpose of this archetypal figure is uncertain. Many African tribes, such as the Akuaba use figures very similar in form as a fertility symbol, providing the wearer good fortune in childbirth. The discovery of this amulet in a tomb may connect it with rebirth. Indeed, figures of this type have been interpreted as dancers, worshipers, mourners, symbols of resurrection, mother images or goddesses. Materials: pewter with gold finish, faux leather cord Height: 1 3/4", Length: 32" From the collection of The Brooklyn Museum. Made in Thailand.
