Anthropomorphic sculpture represented seated. The body consists of two spheres connected by a narrow bust. A small faceless head, stocky arms and long legs protrude, evoking a somewhat supernatural being in motion, 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.
