HELP IDENTIFY TRIBE CARVED STATUE OF PREGNANT WOMAN CAME FROM

I believe this is real tribal instead of tourist tribal carved statue mainly because they carved the woman's privates into it & I don't think they would do that to a piece meant to be sold to a tourist - but I could be wrong.

I think the bent legs are a clue and used in a tribe's carvings but I can't remember it. Also the scarification on her face.
But what does the "outie" belly button mean?

Can someone tell me where this is from? And if it was tribal used?

Thanks!

 

I think she might be Chokwe. I have a mask that looks like her face.

 

yes...nice Chokwe carving. That hair style is from Angola .
looks like she's holding a couple of N.Korean ballistic missiles there !


....& yes ...Africans carve sex, like you're not used to...




it is suggestive of fertility .....




nice maternity figure....above...

 

Oh my, no comment! lol

 

ever since Expo 67.....at the PNG exhibit , i've understood that only in repressed..oppressed religious societies are we taught to see the human body & sex as vulgar, unclean, & shameful......

But...here's one at Stanford U....



& If you can't see it as art & culture...................meet my friends....

 

Yes...Zardoz is real !!
