This group of Prampram figurines from the southern coastal region of Ghana belongs to the figurative traditions that arose along the trade and contact zones between Ga, Dangme, and Ewe societies. Such sculptures combined ancestral representation, protective function, and social identity, and were characterized by a highly abstracted formal language that visualized spiritual presence rather than individual physiognomy. The two standing figures exhibit the characteristic Prampram typology with rounded heads, pointed limbs, and highly simplified facial features. Eyes, ears, mouth, and nipples appear as perforated openings, rhythmically structuring the figures' surfaces and simultaneously creating an impression of inner permeability. The long, narrow nose, which vertically divides the face, is particularly striking, while the circularly open mouth conveys a quiet, almost incantatory expressiveness. The central perforated line along the body reinforces this impression of ritualized order. The differing postures of the two figures—the larger left figure with its emphasized chest and the right figure wearing a textile loincloth—suggest a gendered or social complementarity. The horizontal incisions covering the bodies give the figures an almost textile-like surface texture and demonstrate a high degree of ornamental sensitivity. The light patina indicates prolonged cultic use and repeated ritual treatment. Literature (Selection) Cole, Herbert M. / Ross, Doran H.: The Arts of Ghana. Los Angeles 1977.
