Power figure (nkisi)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure with a head, neck, and torso. The figure has a bald head with small ears on the sides. The eyes are circular and made of white material. The mouth and nose are minimal. The body is made of a grayish-brown material, possibly wood or stone, with visible cracks and wear. The figure has no arms or legs, just a neck, and a small base. The background is a gradient of dark to light gray. The figure appears to be an old, weathered Power figure, known as Nkisi.
