Description

Yikpabongo is a fairly remote village in the western half of the Region’s most western district Mamprugu Moagduri. In a predominantly Mamprusi area, this village and a few others are populated by the Koma who speak an entirely different language. When digging pits for clay to build their homes, the people of Yikpabongo and other nearby villages occasionally dug up clay statuettes in the ground. Some were of people others of animals, occasionally even a person riding an animal! The locals dubbed them kronkronbua which means “Olden Days Children” in Koma. I believe this to be one of those figures. A very unusual unique piece.
