Return to: Wood statues | Ewe | Ghana
These figures are kept by a family in memory of specific members of their family who are deceased. Where limbs are missing or the body is imperfect the person represented would have actually lost that body part or would have been otherwise disfigured. Very often those figures belonging to a single family will share characteristics which imply a family relationship. The figures in these 3 sets measure from 7 to 7 3/4" tall. Please click on the image to view sets #21 and #24. All of the figures are the same price, $75 each. Please look further down on this same page to see more sets of these fascinating and widely variable figures.
