Important "Jonyeleni" statue
of the Jo initiation society. It features a nude young woman standing on a circular pedestal, her ample bosom evoking a nurturing concept, her body embellished with geometric scarification, her face sporting a superb, gentle yet determined expression. Symbolically oversized ears evoke a concept of care, listening and protection. The body lines are gracefully structured around cubist, schematized forms.
