KORO
Figure 4
18.5" high
$500
SOLD

The Koro people carve figural containers that are used, (according to Roy Sieber in RMN, 1997, p. 298) ,  during services at funerals for drinking and making palm wine offerings.

Despite its appearance this figure shows no evidence of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
