The old posts are buried like human corpses. The figures serve two purposes: they are symbols to all visitors that the house belongs to an important chief, and they guard the entrance of the compound to prevent dangerous spirits from harming the family. It is apparent that in this context they embody spirits that watch over the chief's lineage.' In hard wood with overall attenuated proportions, the diminutive head with a sagittal crest and pierced ears resting on a squared neck on rounded shoulders, the chest and abdomen highlighted with incised feather design; dark brown patina with age distress lines throughout.
