Nommo "Arms-up" Figure

A well conceived sculpture of a bearded “Nommo” figure, both arms held above the head, the hands attached as a single plane. Both legs are bent. The stylized “cubist” rendering is powerful. The surface dried-out, with cracks, pitting and evidence of offerings.
Height: 28 inches (71.1 cm.)
