content: Carved commemorative figure of a woman. Much weathered. Probably painted at one time. Purchased by the donor in 1974 from Gelebu Assengogo, who at the time indicated this piece could be as much as 150 years old. However, according to Mary Jo Arnoldi, curator of African ethnology, it probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. For additional information see the accession file.
