Dimondstein Tribal Arts
These Metoko posts were presented during important events such as funerals, initiations of youths, and diplomatic functions. The posts were believed to have ancestral associations and would beget the ancestor’s spirit. The heart-shaped face, elongated features, and geometric angular forms are characteristic of carving styles of the Equatorial Forest.
