Wooden ikenga figure. The figure sits on a rounded base with two small carved triangular wedges on either side of the body. The figure’s body is a rectangular shape with stylized, squared arms branching out from the base of the head in v-shapes to attach to the base. There are two small square sections of raised wood either side where the body meets the head. The head is elliptical in shape, narrow and flattened. The face of the figure extends over the front arm and has slanting eyes carved on the sides of the head, rounded lips and nose, and a sloping, high forehead. The back of the head extends outwards over the back arm and is decorated with a spiral design. The top of the head is adorned with four connected cylindrically carved shapes with incised cross-hatching on the ends, and two large curved horns. The horns are curved at the top and have a hollow interior, while the bottom horns curve outwards from the body and are narrower and solid.
Wooden ikenga figure. The figure has a conical base with a cylindrical torso. The torso/body is decorated with incised zigzag lines and raised sections of wood with grooves around the edges of the midsection. The figure’s neck is long and wrapped at the base with a thin, degraded strip of woven fabric which is knotted at the back of the neck. The figure’s head is rounded in the back but with a triangularly shaped face including a pointy, beaked nose and sharply pointed small chin and lips. The eyes are stylized slits on the edges of the face, and attached to the sides of the head are two large, curved horns. The horns are v-shaped and point backwards away from the face. There is a large crack in the figure extending from the neck to the base on the left side.
Carved, wooden ikenga figure. The figure has two conical-shaped, short legs that attach to a body consisting of two conically carved shapes without points (frustums) which taper inwards to join a central, larger cylinder. The two outer sections are incised with linear grooves, while the central section is carved with two triangular and two rectangular shapes in-filled with small, carved divots. The figure’s neck is long and rounded. The figure’s face is long with a pointed, flat-bottomed chin, small mouth, large flat nose and large, deeply carved eyes. The high forehead is slopping and angular. Extending directly upwards from the back of the head are two pointed, large horns running parallel to each other.
Wooden ikenga figure. The figure stands on a circular base, from which rises the central rectangular post that supports the head of the figure, surrounded on four sides by bent v-shaped, rectangular posts. The head is very large and flat with an angular face. The face consists of a square chin with a wide, open mouth. Above the mouth the face slopes up and back and is decorated with incised square shapes. The top of the face is adorned with two carved circular protrusions, one in the centre of the face and one on the right side of the face with a space for the missing third on the left side of the face. There is also a circular protrusion on the top of the head in the back. The two side protrusions are part of the two large, curved horns (right side is broken) that extend outwards from the top of the face. The upper sections of the horns are wide and carved to be hollow in the interiors, while the lower sections are narrower and solid. The upper sections of the horns attach to a rounded, flat piece that sits on top of the central bulge of the face.
