From the museum record

This exceptionally large Teke figure is well preserved and holds a medicine package partly buried in an abdominal cavity. Its size suggests that it stood at the service of a larger group of people and that its powers extended beyond the limits of a village. Its scarification marks and beard identify it as representing a chief or another dignitary.

Lupin’s visual index

A weathered, dark-brown wooden figure depicts a stylized human form with a conical hat and ceremonial mask.
