English: Memorial figure, Anyi peoples, Côte d'Ivoire, Early 20th century, Terracotta
Certain Anyi groups honored their dead with portraits in terracotta. This particular one depicts a court musician grasping a flattened cylindrical gong in his left hand. His right hand probably once held a clapper now broken off. Because he was less important than the kings and queen mothers for whom he played in life, his memorial figure maintains this hierarchy to the grave by being smaller than a royal figure and by standing rather than sitting.
