Hello,
Does anybody know a little more about this wooden African idol? All I know is that it was bought by my late aunt somewhere in the '50 or '60s in, probably Ethiopia.
Thanks in advance, Marc Dorst

Re: Identifying African idol
Unfortunately it's more a souvenir and not a figure that was used in the culture, that's why it becomes almost impossible to give an exact region or place for this figure, hope it helps

Hello,
Indeed, it can be complex to precisely locate a figure based on a memory rather than a defined cultural reference. However, with social networks like Twitter here, it's sometimes amazing to see how memories can be shared and retrieved by people all over the world, creating a kind of virtual collective memory.
