Anthropomorphic sculpture depicted seated in a dynamic posture. The voluminous bust is framed by a tiny head, stumps of arms and spread bent legs. The limbs are made of metal, the whole is wrapped in string. The group of animist Kirdi peoples, or "pagans", as the Islamized peoples have named them, are established in the far north of Cameroon, on the border with Nigeria. They include the Matakam, Kapsiki, Margui, Mofou, Massa, Toupouri, Fali, Namchi, Bata, Do ayo... They live from agriculture, fishing and livestock breeding. Among the Fali, ancestor worship is illustrated by the great importance given to the skulls of the deceased, because thought and knowledge resided there.
