African Fertility God Statue

By Logan_Holman, 1 February, 2013
Description

I have this African Fertility God Statue. It is 12 inches tall, and carved of wood. I don't know too much about it, but have seen several types. I would like to learn a little more about what I have and maybe the value of something like this. Any helpful information about it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: African Fertility God Statue

It's hard to tell how old this piece is but it does appear to be very crude and handmade. Here are the most similar pieces I could find, the group of three items sold for $150. I would imagine the market is very limited, however.
