A very large Moba Tchitcheri Shrine Figure. The tchitcheri are named after the clan of the ancestors they are supposed to honour. Only the diviners can order such a sculpture, they also determine its size and sex. The tchitcheri are minimalist sculptures reminiscent of abstract art, a cylindrical trunk with straight arms and legs, surmounted by a round head and without neck. Togo H 110 cm Swiss collection
