Anthropomorphic figure decorative, carved in wood, in the style of traditional Chamba art (people mainly located in present-day Nigeria).

Morphology stylized: The statue adopts a clean, geometric aesthetic. The body is relatively elongated with short, slightly bent lower limbs, which gives the silhouette a certain density at the legs and feet.
Head and face: The head is proportionally wide compared to the rest of the body. The face features simplified but expressive traits: eyes carved into circular shapes, a prominent nose, and a slightly open mouth. The ears are also represented in a schematic manner on the sides of the head.
Torso and anatomical details: The torso highlights a feminine chest. A notable feature is the presence of a clearly marked circular orifice at the navel, a common element in certain ritual statuettes.
