Description
Colorful Double Face figure by Metoko.
The Metoko wood figures are defined by their highly abstracted forms including incised lines or dots. Though not fully documented, figures like this are used by a secret society known as Bukota, and these figures have no assigned purpose but could've been used for initiations, funerals, peace-making, and even during circumcisions of young initiates. Hand-carved Metoko figures like these are always a wonderful addition to any collection.
