EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood sculpture from Nigeria depicts a female figure with a child, known as ekwotame in the Idoma or Tiv culture. Standing at 68.5 cm tall, this piece is a powerful representation of motherhood and fertility in African tribal art.
The woman is seated, her braided hair adorned with intricate scarification marks that speak to her cultural identity. She cradles a newborn baby on her lap, symbolizing the cycle of life and the nurturing role of mothers in society.
The attention to detail in this sculpture is remarkable - from the protective stance of the mother to the delicate features of the infant. The wooden stool on which they sit serves as both a practical support and a ritual object imbued with spiritual significance.
In traditional African societies, motherhood was revered as sacred and women were seen as vessels of life-giving power. This sculpture captures that reverence beautifully, showcasing the bond between mother and child in its most primal form.
As we gaze upon this work of art, we are reminded of the universal themes it represents - love, protection, and the eternal connection between generations. It stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria and serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity across time and space.
