Context:

This very fine clay figure, from the Inland Delta of the Niger River, is associated with burial mounds near the early urban center of Jenne. It may depict a man in a contemplative pose of worship, reflecting the proper ritual act of one communicating with gods and ancestors. The significance of the raised bumps covering the body is uncertain; they may refer to a skin ailment or to a particular body art.
