This symbolic sculpture is thought to be reminiscent of the figurative representations based on the legends of alien visits, made by the Pygmy tribes of Tanzania. The beading and coiled detail indicate a contemporary art-piece crafted using authentic techniques. The main rounded body of the piece is constructed from the African fruit callebasse, a heavy material typically used to make fruit bowls. The cowrie shell features and beautiful beading are fixed using native mud clay, which emphasizes the genuine hand-craftsmanship. Characteristics between individual items may vary as each figurine is handmade.
