Basketry female figure standing on two short legs with toes holds a small child in her left arm. Both have mask faces with cowrie shell eyes that are painted with red, black and gray pigment. The female has numerous grass braids hanging from the top rim of the mask, into which are attached carved cowrie shells.
The artist uses the fibre of the gumba tree. It is cut, soaked in water for a week and then spun into a twine called 'manji'. Formerly the weavings were supported by a rattan frame. Angelina has developed the use of gourds as a basis for her weavings, and it is the shape of them that dictates the animal that will emerge from her hand.
