The human figure has always been the primary subject matter for most African art. They represent a range of people within the community: the hunter-warriors, the founders of the clan, spirit spouses, mothers and fathers. Large figures and power figures protect villages and communities while smaller figures are used as personal protection or for divination and healing.
