Pombo (Pomtam) Kiss (Nomoli sculptures) of anthropomorphic soapstone (steatite called) race; Kissi, Sierra Leone. 26x14 cm. The pose is a classic, hands clasped under her chin, almost fetal position.
The Kissi people worship stone carvings, sculptures or nomoli, and often finding them in fields where they were buried, in honor of the deceased, or a good omen for the harvest, some were placed in shrines and venerated as guardians of God .
The inhabitants call them men of stone, treating them with great respect.
I admire these sculptures, although they may sembrara arcane!
Upon contact "is" may convey some energy.
