Nigerian Figure

This figure is described by the Sierra Leone National Museum as a divination figure, used by a herbalist called Yoka-Sara, from the Gbangbani society. It does, however, rather look like a Nigerian Yoruba figure. The figure has been painted white, and wears a watch on its right wrist, along with a pair of black shorts.
