An great example of a Bamileke Mu Po figure from the Grasslands area of The Cameroon. These figures are used by Bamileke healers during curative rites or for anti witchcraft purposes and serve as representations of their patients. They are often characterised as women with rounded features, which is likely to suggest the general idea of fertility. This is a superb example of a Bamileke Mu Po Figure showing good signs of age and use. Reference: "The Tribal Arts Of Africa", Jean Baptiste Bacquart
