Description: This 19982s Igbo Agbogo Mmwo female figure, glorifying youth and feminine beauty. Narrow slits of the eyes, emaciated face coated with white 'Kaolin', which normally to the learned headdress in matte and openwork shells, refers to ancestral spirits. Indeed, mmwo means "spirit of the dead". Rare this one has a character behind and above his head. It also evokes the earth goddess, Ala, the embodiment of fertility, who occupies an important place in the Igbo pantheon, among the ancestors and tutelary deities Alusi. Igbo live in the forest in southeastern Nigeria. They have managed to combine a deep sense of individuality with an equally strong sense of belonging to the group. Their political system is complex and little known. The village is the largest social unit, the smallest is the extended family. Each village has a high degree of autonomy and is placed under the authority of the oldest lineage chief. The religion of the Igbo includes on the one hand the god Chuku, supreme creator, considered omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and on the other hand the spirit of the earth
