En jernskulptur - MOBA - Togo (Ingen mindstepris)
A Moba black iron statue, Togo, Northern region. Incl stand.
In existing scholarship on Moba material culture (see de Witte 1927; Berns & Picton 1996; Willet 1967), iron anthropomorphic figures are identified primarily through typological morphology: Portable shrine figures: medium‑sized forged figures used within domestic or lineage contexts. Personal emblem figures: smaller forged objects carried or kept near individuals.
Commemorative figures: larger structural assemblages tied to social offices or historic events. The size, facture, and assembly technique of this object indicate it belongs to the portable figure category, characterized by: Intentionally restrained geometry. Modular assembly that allows for repair. Forged iron components rather than cast or beaten sheet metal.
