AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Much more than a feminine representation, it embodies the connection with an ancestor, and is part of the dynamic relationships between men and spirits, and in the broad sense, 'between the village community and the chieftaincy, the ancestors and the tutelary spirits.'
