Description: This is a statue related to the Mbari cult. Worship consists of sacrificial offerings to guardian goddesses, in case of great distress from the community. The design of these very large Mbari statues was complex and highly ritualized. Their manufacture was part of the construction of a complex altar (shelter), also very elaborate in paintings and sculptures. Igbo live in the forest in southeastern Nigeria. They have managed to combine a deep sense of individuality with an equally strong sense of belonging to the group. Their political system is complex and little known. The village is the largest social unit, the smallest is the extended family. Each village has a high degree of autonomy and is placed under the authority of the oldest lineage chief. The religion of the Igbo includes on the one hand the god Chuku, supreme creator, considered omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and on the other hand the spirit of the earth Ala.
