This carved wooden figure is attributed to the Tiv people of Nigeria. Standing in an upright, frontal pose with hands held at the abdomen, the figure reflects the stylized proportions and simplified forms typical of Tiv carving traditions. Such figures are often associated with spiritual or protective purposes and were valued as expressions of identity, status, and cultural belief. The surface shows age and wear consistent with use and handling.5.0
