Throughly charmed with our Tikar Forest Magic Pygmy Figure, with his expressive face, petite rounded shape, and seed pod jewelry. I find it hard to resist captioning him with something like “It’s only Wednesday?” or “Winter is coming” or just “…” because sometimes that’s how it i when you try to stay on top of everything happening in the world at once. This Figure is believed to represent a Spirit of the Pygmy People of the Cameroon Forests. The Tikar People believe(d) that these Figures possess Mystical Spirits and Powers derived from the Forests where Pygmy People live(d). They were used for Protection and as Fertility Figures, which are also believed to benefit their Harvests.
