Description from the seller

The Mambila are a Central and West African people, mainly present in the southeast of Nigeria, but also on the other side of the border, in the northwest of Cameroon. Most live on the Mambila Plateau. Among their most remarkable achievements are notably carved wooden statuettes and helmet masks, but above all pottery. These works are frequently used in therapeutic rituals.
