Statue for male aggression (iphri) Wood, pigment. H. 108 cm. Henricus & Nina Simonis, Dusseldorf
This massive figure with huge saber-like teeth personifies the powerful ideals of Urhobo men: physical and moral strength, the ability to speak well in public. In past generations, these statues would have been maintained by great warriors.
