Hello friends @AlienArtHive community. It's your humble girl @happy080. How are you all doing today? I am glad to share with you an ancient artifact located deep within a local African village. This is a village that held traditions sacred, this customs were passed on through symbols and colors. This ancient artifact was more than just a pigment on stone - It served as a portal to the wisdom of the ancestors. and a symbol of heritage to the members of the community.
Next to this art, stood a tin-like vessel, which represented a symbol of legacy and sustenance. The people of the village believe that the image held the essence of their past event, life and cultural heritage. It helps in gathering ancestral histories into the mind of those who have forgotten its tales. It is indeed a strange and weird looking artwork, but with great importance to the members of the community.
This artwork is adorned with an orange and yellow painting, accompanied by a ball pen sketches at the eye brows and the base of the object on which the head is standing.
THE SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THE SYMBOLS
