From the museum record

This sculpture played a role in ancestral worship among the Beembe people. Ancestors are held in high regard among the Beembe, and this figure is thought to represent an idealized form of a deceased individual within the ethnic group. The object is one of only two seated male Beembe figures of this size in Western institutions.

Lupin’s visual index

A dark-brown wooden sculpture depicts a seated African man with a prominent beard and intricate facial features.
