Description : Africa, Niger, Bura Asinda-Sikka culture, ca. 3rd to 11th century CE. A memorial head made of baked terracotta, modelled in a characteristically phallic form with a pronounced vertical nose, applied scarification marks to either side, recessed circular eyes, pursed full lips, a soft jaw line, disk-shaped ears, a raised section of the coiffure as well as the neck embellished with texture from pressing a burlap cloth against the clay body from the Bura-Asinda-Sikka culture along the lower Niger River valley in Niger and Burkina Faso. Examples like this were initially discovered in 1975, many by farmers who were preparing their fields. Hence many Bura sculptural works were accidentally broken by shovels before serious archaeological excavations began in 1983. Size: 9.75 H (24.8 cm), 11.625 H (29.5 cm) on included custom stand.
