From the museum record

This mother-and-child figure was probably part of a cult concerned with the treatment of infertility. Both her jewelry and her seated pose indicate that the woman occupied a high rank in her community. Her miter-shaped hairstyle, chiseled teeth, and raised body scars--considered to be marks of beauty and perfection--signal that the woman incarnates the founding ancestor of a kinship group.

Lupin’s visual index

A richly detailed wooden sculpture depicts a seated African figure with hands in a meditative gesture, adorned with elaborate headdress and tribal markings.
