<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 761001, member: 8267&quot;]The stone looks similar to carved stone figures from Sierra Leone known as &quot;nomoli&quot;. They are found buried, and are made in the form of various animals and human figures. There is a great variety in style - some are quite detailed, others very simple. Their original use is unknown. The worn first word on the label might be nomoli. I suspect the hole on the base was drilled to mount it on a base, which means someone thought it was significant enough to display.</p><p><img src="https://assets.artworkarchive.com/image/upload/t_jpg_xlarge/v1/user_14609/Nomoli_collection_r34ptp" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.artworkarchive.com/profile/fashor-and-eagar/artwork/nomoli-figurines-medieval-sapi-mende-sierra-leone-stone-sculptures" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.artworkarchive.com/profile/fashor-and-eagar/artwork/nomoli-figurines-medieval-sapi-mende-sierra-leone-stone-sculptures" rel="nofollow">https://www.artworkarchive.com/profile/fashor-and-eagar/artwork/nomoli-figurines-medieval-sapi-mende-sierra-leone-stone-sculptures</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
