A female anthropomorphic figure with raised arms and arose-encrusted surface. The bust forms a double cut to collect beer, oil or palm wine for ritual ceremonies. The hands are digitized, but the feet are missing, the base being totally gnawed. Desication cracks. It is in the northern part of the interior of Nigeria, at the confluence of Niger and Benué, that the Koro, alongside the Waja, Mama, Hausa, and Dakakari have settled. Especially known for their masks adorned with red seeds of abrus embodying the ancestors, they also use this type of cups with ritual offerings at funerals or during sacrifices.
