This extraordinary, over four-foot tall Igbo male figure exudes a profound sense of introspection and serenity. Carved from a single piece of wood, the figure stands nude with upward-facing hands, embodying a welcoming spirit. Adorned with a cylindrical headpiece and remnants of original black and white paint, this Alusi figure was once revered as a family guardian. The open palms symbolize generosity and a receptive nature, inviting offerings and blessings. A captivating testament to Igbo artistry and spirituality.
