Height 4.5", Depth 3", Width 2". This museum exhibited Nomoli figurine is extremely rare as it in one of only a few ever discovered that have an elongated head similar and consistent with other ancient figurines from around the world. Those which are thought by many to represent ancient influence by alien contact. It is even rare amongst those few in that it is one of only two known Nomoli with this artistic rendering of an elongated head and what appears to be a possible helmet which extends under the chin and over the back of the head.
This stone has been used throughout antiquity by the Shaman, Medicine Man/Woman, Chiefs and individuals and is believed to posses great healing and other powers - powers that are magnified by the adept who activates the figurine
All original Nomoli artifacts from The Vonderheide Collection come with certificate of authenticity and provenance.
The Vonderheide collection is the world's foremost collection of Authentic Nomoli Figurines. This Stone was instrumental in identifying the Elongated Head/Ancient Aliens Connection to the Nomoli Gods and ancient figurines.
Provenance:
Museum Exhibited
African Art Museum of Maryland

Authenticated by Professor Kwaku Ofori-Ansa
World Renowned African Art History Professor
Foremost Expert on Nomoli
“All pieces shown here are believed to be authentic examples of soapstone sculptures and hooded masks from that region. The civil war that occurred in the region in the 1970s and the current anti indigenous traditions by some of the hard-line religious groups resulted in the destruction of traditional art and therefore rendered these types sculptures hard to find. Their acquisition therefore, is deemed a timely intervention to preserve a priceless artistic treasure for posterity.”
Professor Ofori-Ansa on The Shirley and Bennett J. Vonderheide Collection (Reprinted from Museum exhibition poster)
