Consider the Nok Head (3

question 19

Short Answer

Consider the Nok head (3.102), Yoruba twin figure (3.103), and Yombe nkisi Mangaaka (3.104). All three of these sculptures are figurative representations of the human form, but also contain some geometric stylizations. Discuss the stylized aspects of each of these figures. Why has the artist chosen to depict these aspects in this way? Are there any areas of pattern, or abstraction, on the sculptures?
