This object is a carved wooden sculpture representing the tribal faces of Nigeria’s three major ethnic groups — Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. It features three elongated faces with distinct proportions and expressions, each symbolizing the identity and heritage of these cultures. The faces merge into a single circular form, expressing unity within diversity, while the textured, hand-carved surface and solid base enhance its cultural and totemic presence.
